Mage HRs

Staffer Remarks
The following are rules that staff have agreed upon or that the lead staff for the mage venue has decided. These are handy to know-please read these. Some things aren't allowed, due to few rules existing for them, the complex efforts to make them work or other such. Some concepts are rife with potential for conflict or abuse. Due to potential criminal liability, we cannot have any PC under 18.

The mage staffer Huldur is not against character conflicts-politics, conflict and differences are bound to happen. It's one of the big draws for Mage that people so enlightened can come to very different conclusions. However, some things enable player conflict and that is very different from in-game conflict.

Banishers, Scelesti, Seers and lichs are pretty much non-starters for collaborative play. They are antagonists. While there is wiggle room for player-characters being seduced to the Seers cause, along with flirting with Abyss magics, there is no room at all for going for lichdom. And becoming a Banisher is right out. Going for Seers or Abyssal magic will have consequences for characters.

There's a lot of room for fun and making the best of the game outside them. Enjoy your time being mages!

Archmastery
This is not going to happen except as a way to retire a character. Please do not ask for special exceptions, this is one of our much, MUCH more concrete rules due to both the extreme power that archmages wield and the lack of rules for playing one.

Creative Thaumaturgy
All uses of creative thaumaturgy must be approved by a staff member, either by submitting a custom spell prior to a scene or else gaining approval for a spell during a scene and subsequently writing it up in a job. Aside from that, no creative thaumaturgy is allowed.

 * Seers of the Throne
