Apprentice of Matter
Alter Accuracy (Matter••)
The mage improves the balance and heft of a simple item.
Eyes of the Earth (Matter ••)
One can cast the ability to see Matter Magic on someone else.
Shape Liquid (Matter ••)
The mage can impart cohesion to liquid or vapor, forming it into shapes of his choosing or moving it as he desires. He could, for example, carve a corridor through fog or rain so that he doesn’t get wet.
Transmute Water (Matter ••)
The mage can transmute one common liquid substance into another common liquid substance. The mage could turn water into milk or orange juice into gasoline. (Even though milk and orange juice are organic derivatives, they are not alive, so can be manipulated with this Arcanum.)
Steel Windows (Matter ••)
The mage can make an opaque object transparent or vice-versa, or he could choose to affect only one surface. He could, for example, make the outer surface of a bank vault door transparent, allowing him to see the mechanisms within.
Unseen Aegis (Matter ••)
This spell acts subtly upon inert material in the mage’s immediate vicinity, which defends her from harm. Air forms a “cushion” that blunts the inertia of an incoming fist. Ambient moisture acts to douse a hurled bolt of flame. A bullet temporarily becomes a bit softer in mid-flight, blunting its i m p a c t . The exact method of protection varies from mage to mage and attack to attack. The effect is the same, though: a general protection from almost all sorts of physical harm.
