alexmegamiI guess to make up for yesterday's uber-late Space, they decided to make today's Spirit uber-early.
I give you today's Mage update.
Spirit
Purview: exorcism, the Shadow Realm, soul retrieval, spirits, the Gauntlet
By setting out on the path of the Arcanum of Spirit, a mage seeks to become an intermediary between realms. Spirit mages are often thoughtful people, those who consider the consequences of their actions well beyond the immediate and how those actions will affect their world around them—not only forward into time, but also outward, mindful of the ripples their deeds can cause. Many Spirit mages were religious (or at least faithful) people before the Awakening, though some were incapable of articulating what it was that they felt and still others believed strongly in nothing before the revelation came that stole their ignorance. Many of those who delve into this Arcanum are willing to comfortably admit that there are things beyond the comprehension of man. They walk into the shadows beyond the firelight, knowing full well that there are things to be afraid of out there and perfectly happy with that understanding. Unlike Space mages, they do not blaze a path for others; the road such mages walk is a solitary path, one undertaken only by those who accept that the world is grander, stranger and more dangerous than humanity can possibly even fully comprehend or overcome.
Spirit Guardian (Spirit ••••)
This spell enables a mage to bind a spirit guardian to a person, object or place. The entity watches over its charge to the best of its ability, protecting it as best it can with what powers are available to it. While weak spirits have few powers to offer, they are easy to bind. Strong spirits are difficult to fetter with this spell, but they usually have many capabilities to bring to bear.
Practice: Patterning

Dude, that means that at least in one aspect, Death and Spirit are diametrically opposed; Death soul-steals, Spirit soul-retrieves. That is cool-ass, mutherfuckers.
Also, I like the idea of spirit guardians. I wonder if werewolves like or hate this practice? I'm leaning on the side of hate.
