Apprentice of Forces
Control Heat (Forces ••)
The mage can increase or decrease the temperature of an area.
Control Light (Forces ••)
The mage can brighten or weaken an existing light source, such that a 40-watt light bulb can be made to shine as brightly as a floodlight.
Control Sound (Forces ••)
The mage can amplify or turn down the volume of sound in an area, such as making the music coming out of a pair of headphones loud enough for dozens of people to hear clearly.
Eyes of the Matrix (Forces ••)
Bestows Read Matrices on another person.
Influence Electricity (Forces ••)
The mage can influence the direction or flow of electricity. He can, for example, cause an existing electrical current (such as that moving through appliances or in walls) to flash or arc out and strike a target. He could not amplify the current at this level.
Influence Fire (Forces ••)
The mage can influence the direction or flow of an existing flame. He can, for example, cause a campfire to leap from its place and onto a person, or direct the flame from a Zippo lighter in an arc to the pool of liquor on the counter top. He could not fan the flames to make a larger or hotter fire at this level.
Invisible Object (Forces ••)
The mage can render an inanimate object invisible to all forms of sight, including cameras. Cast in combination with “Influence Sound,” p. 163, the mage can redirect any sounds the object makes (such as the clicking of a camera shutter), making them seem to come from another location.
Kinetic Blow (Forces ••)
The mage focuses the force of a physical attack, such as a punch or kick, down to a pinpoint, inflicting damage as though the person on the other end is stabbed with a knife.
Transmission (Forces ••)
The mage can hijack an extant radio signal, transmitting her own words on it and replacing the original transmission.
Unseen Shield (Forces ••)
Through the use of this spell, the mage deflects incoming attacks with an energy shield, dispersing their force along its invisible contours and causing a punch to land harmlessly. Kinetic attacks (like fists and bullets) are as surely turned aside as energy-based ones (like a gout of flame or a laser), their momentum stolen or power leeched away.
