Strong and Weak Spheres/Arcana in the Mage the Awakening system for the Nine Traditions , the Technocratic Union, and the Disparates (Awakening to Ascension pt 3)

Strong and Weak Spheres/Arcana in the Mage the Awakening system for the Nine Traditions , the Technocratic Union, and the Disparates:

Here, I put forth possible strong Arcana and weak Arcana associated with each of these groups, although they can certainly vary, along with a very short explanation of why, from their perspective. This is definitely a WIP, and I'd appreciate feedback.:)

*updated*

Akashic Brotherhood/Akashayana Mind, Life/ Matter

Focused on the mind and body, they neglect base material things.

Celestial Chorus Prime, Spirit/ Time

Truth is in faith in the Divine Will. Be present when and where you are. Trust the Divine plan for the future.

Cult of Ecstasy/ the Sahajiya Time, Mind/ Spirit

The soul is the mind and is free in time. 'Spirit' is a distraction from enlightenment.

Dreamspeakers/Kha'Vadi Spirit, Mind/ Prime

We speak to the world and its dreams. We do not meddle with its building blocks.

Euthanatos/Chakravanati Death, Fate/ Forces

We go round and round on the wheel. Fate is our ally. The brutal energies of Forces are . . . unsubtle.

Order of Hermes Forces, Spirit/ Mind

Magick is Will. Magick is Power, in the here and now. Abrogating the Will of another is forbidden.

Society of Ether Matter, Life/ Fate

Science is the way to a better life, through technology and biology. Fate is hokum.

Verbena/Verbenae Life, Forces/ Death

The power of life is ours, and the might of the natural world: fire, lightning, more. To touch death is to risk serving it.

Virtual Adepts/Mercurial Elite Space, Forces/ Life

We're watching. We've got the power. You 'clerics' can handle the healing.


Iteration X Matter, Forces / Mind

Your thoughts are immaterial to the future.

New World Order Mind, Space / Spirit

We see it all. But there is no 'spirit' behind it. Just the mind, in its proper place.

Progenitors Life, Time / Space

We work on new life, hands on.

The Syndicate Fate, Mind / Prime

Hearts and minds...but grab their Fates to really control them.

Void Engineers Spirit, Space / Death

The Truth is out there, and death is a lie.


Ahl-I-Batin Space, Mind/ Death

All is One. Do not trifle with the fates or others, nor meddle with death. That is the dark path.

Bata'a Spirit, Life /Matter

The loa are alive, as we are. Physical things trifle next to matters of spirit.

Children of Knowledge Matter, Prime /Spirit

Alchemy is the fusion of matter and power. Trucking with spirits is a distraction.

Hollow Ones Any

Kopa Loei Any

Ngoma Spirit, Prime/ Time

Commune with the spirits and the power that moves them. To seek to see the past or future directly is to risk reality.

Sisters of Hippolyta Life, Mind/ Fate

No one can escape their Fate. It is hubris to try. Instead, harmonize body and mind to meet it well.

Taftani Matter, Spirit/ Prime

We were given dominion of earth. The source of all things is the realm of the Divine.

Templars Forces, Life/ Fate

Deus Vult. My Fate is God's to decree. But I will wield the weapons he has given me in his name.

Wu Lung Spirit, Forces/ Death

We wield the power of Heaven. To trifle with necromancy is against the Divine Order.
