Rotes & Procedures

Skillful mages can use Correspondence 4/ Life 4/ Mind 2 to transform into multiple creatures (generally one per success over the base), each one of them a living entity sharing the original mage’s mind and spirit. A Master of Life can use Life 5 to do the same thing without the other Spheres, although Mind 2 helps that Master divide her consciousness and perceptions between the other forms without difficulty.

Each separate creature has the original mage’s health levels and Abilities. Individual members can be injured or killed, but so long as one of them survives, the mage endures. That mage will, however, suffer the damage when all the different “selves” reunite into one form; thus, it’s a good idea to heal up before joining those different shapes back into a single form again. Any one of the surviving creatures can turn back into the original mage; once she returns to her natural form, all of the other “selves” disappear.

For more details about multiple forms, see Everywhere at Once, under the Mystic Travel section, (p. 79).
