Conjuring Sunlight
Rote · Mage
Note that such light is not true sunlight. It will not harm vampires, as their curse is tied to the actual sun, not to strong sources of illumination. A powerful mage, however, can pursue a number of options:
• Correspondence 4/ Forces 4 may open a gate between a location where sunlight is and one where sunlight is not. This, of course, is vulgar magick, but the sunlight in question is totally real. (If all someone needs to do is break a window, then just break the goddamned window and don’t worry about using magick.)
• Forces 4/ Prime 2 can generate high-intensity blasts of light that inflict lethal damage. By adding Life 3/ Matter 2, the mage can make that light burn vampires for aggravated damage.
• At the Storyteller’s option, a scientific approach to magick could deploy Forces 5/ Prime 4 to reproduce sunlight in every respect. This option depends upon whether or not the Storyteller views sunlight as a purely physical phenomenon, or as a manifestation of divine grace. Theoretically, a spiritual mage could add Spirit 5 to that Effect and then channel the spiritual essence of sunlight
as well as its physical properties. In all three cases – and again, at the Storyteller’s option – such conjured sunlight might act as true sunlight with regards to the undead.
