Hey, they’re okay once you get to know them! You’ve expressed some degree of sympathy for an enemy faction, and that sympathy does not make you terribly popular! Maybe you’re a Technocrat who sees validity in the Traditions, a Trad mage who shares some part of the Technocratic vision, a Disparate mage with secret ties to one of the other factions, or even – gods help you! – a mage from pretty much any group, who dares to view the Mad and Fallen as something other than walking targets for instant execution. This Flaw goes well with other Flaws like Rogue, Branded or Fifth Degree, and could well wind up getting added to your character sheet if you’re not discreet about your associations with rival mages.
