On the flipside, certain Wonders ripple the Consensus sim­ ply by existing. The Background: Enhancement invokes that kind of permanent Paradox, and certain other things do as well. For the most part, permanent Paradox comes about through certain lasting modifications – moving tattoos, glowing horns and the like. In general, assume that a Wonder that can be turned off

or set aside does not generate permanent Paradox. If a Wonder does involve permanent Paradox, then that Paradox gets added to the mage’s Quintessence /Paradox wheel. (For details about

Permanent Paradox, see that entry in Mage 20, pp. 547-548.)
