Wire-Walking Mastery
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: One turn

Minimum Athletics: 2
Minimum Arete: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Walk the Narrow Path
Until the end of the turn, the mage can walk and stand on surfaces too narrow to normally support her, such as tightropes, clotheslines, and narrow ledges, without fear of losing his balance. This Charm does not insulate the mage from outside factors attempting to dislodge him, such as forceful blows or strong gusts of wind, nor does it preserve him if the surface upon which he is walking breaks or falls. While walking a narrow surface in this fashion, the mage must make a Dexterity + Athletics check to attack, parry, dodge, or take other actions normally demanding quick movements. The difficulty of this roll is equal to half the number of dice the mage rolls for the rapid action, rounding up. Spend 2 additional motes to have this Charm's effects last until the end of the scene.

Duration: One scene
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Athletics: 2
Minimum Arete: 1

This Charm may be purchased more than once, with each additional application adding 2 more dice to climbing checks, but the number of dice added by all applications of this Charm cannot exceed the mage's Arete or Athletics, whichever is lower. The mage may not walk or crawl along ceilings in this fashion, nor may he walk up walls.

Until the end of the scene, the mage may walk up or stand on vertical surfaces as though they were gentle slopes. She also treats ceilings as vertical surfaces for purposes of climbing, and adds 2 dice to all her Athletics checks to "climb" ceilings. This Charm may be purchased more than once, with each additional application adding 2 more dice to climbing checks involving ceilings, but the number of dice added by all applications of this Charm cannot exceed the mage's Arete or Athletics, whichever is lower. The climbing bonus granted by this Charm is cumulative with that of Gentle Slope. The mage may not stand or walk on ceilings by means of this Charm. If the mage falls within arm's length of a vertical surface, she can easily land on it with a successful Wits + Athletics roll against a difficulty of 1 rather than suffering the full consequences of a normal fall.

If the mage increases her altitude, her horizontal movement rate is reduced by 4 yards per one foot she ascends. The mage must remain within 10 feet of a solid surface that could hold her normal weight, so she could walk above a field but would plummet if she tried to pass over a body of water. If this Charm is comboed with Above as Below, this solid surface need not be horizontal. This Charm may be purchased more than once, with each additional application increasing the mage's maximum distance to a solid surface by 10 feet, but this Charm can be purchased a maximum number of times equal to the mage's Arete or Athletics, whichever is lower.
Walls Like Water

Type: Simple
Minimum Athletics: 4

Prerequisite Charms: Above as Below
The mage and his equipment may move up to 1 foot through solid objects not warded or constructed using one of the Five Magical Materials. This does not provide protection against attacks or the elements. This Charm may be purchased more than once, with each additional application increasing the distance the mage may move by 1 foot, to a maximum number of feet equal to the mage's Arete or Athletics, whichever is lower.

Spend 6 additional motes to have this Charm last until the end of the scene, allowing the mage to travel without motion as his dice action once per turn. This Charm may be purchased more than once, with each additional application increasing the range of this instantaneous travel by 10 yards, not to exceed a number of yards equal to the mage's (Arete x 10) or (Athletics x 10), whichever is lower.

Travel is not instantaneous, but it is safe and fast - 5 miles per hour (120 miles per day). The mage experiences the time, so dehydration and hunger can pose serious problems if the journey is a long one.

If the target wishes to take one action while under the effects of this Charm, she suffers a -2 die penalty to her action, -3 and -4 for two actions, -4, -5, and -6 for three actions. Using this Charm more than once against the same target does not normally create cumulative effects. This Charm may be purchased more than once, up to a number of times equal to the mage's Arete or Athletics, whichever is lower, and each additional application increases the duration for which the character loses one action by one turn.
