Tradition : Verbena
Rote : Blood Sight
This rote allows Verbena to sense how healthy a person is, what diseases (if any) she has, whether she is insane or pregnant, or how old she really is, and alerts him to they presence of any foreign substances including bullets, drugs and alcohol. The Verbena also use this rote to determine someone lineage. {Each success provides one fact about the targets physical state.}

Rote : Horn of the Unicorn
An old hermetic rote to find out if food or drink would be harmful (poisoned, spoiled or very unhealthy). The mage draws a pentagram over the food, while naming five revealing spirits. If the food is harmful, the plate or cup will shudder, as if they were revealed.

Rote : Pattern weave
The mage can perceive a broken or disassembled item as its whole, or unassembled parts as the assembled device. Adds one die per success to any attempts to repair or build.
Spheres : Matter : 1
Tradition :
Cult of Ecstasy
Rote : Pattern weave
The mage can see a disassembled or shattered object in its whole form or as it should be. Cult of Ecstasy use to reflect the image of the parts in their ring, and see the whole in the reflection. Sons of Ether just measure things with their meters, while Choristers touch the parts, seeing how they should fit together. [Each success will give one extra dice in repairing or building the object. Very useful for furniture from IKEA.]

Rote : Restore Pattern
Many patterns which are disturbed and damaged by Magick can be strengthened again if the quintessence lost is replaced before they settle into a new pattern. This rote has many uses. One use is as countermagick against Magick seeking to destroy a pattern, by healing the damage and strengthening it before the changes even become real (it wont work on any pattern that has already been changed, since it now is a new, stable, pattern).

Rote : BLOOD BOND
Created by Arctus, this simulated the Vampiric Blood Bond by ladening the mage's blood with his own quintessence. [The person still needs to taste the Blood three times for it to be effective, and the mage will have to sacrifice a point of blood, along with the accompanying injury.]

Rote : Break the Flow
The mage can disturb the flow of quintessence which sustains a magickal effect. This is done by disturbing it so it won't discharge into its target, but into something else or just into reality in general. This will disrupt the Magick for a short while (some types of Magick may even be dispelled by this). This of course only works on Magick which is fuelled by a flow of quintessence or is upheld by a concentrating mage. It will temporarily break down a barrier, make an eternal flame go out or turn a temporarily boosted Life- mage normal. Hermetic mages usually perform this by "cutting off" the power with their seal, while intoning the name of a powerful god or force. [ Each success removes one success from the affected magickal effect. If it is of the type which demands constant influx of quintessence to function and remain in existence, like a flame or ward, it may be completely dispelled if all successes are removed. Matter and Life Magick will return to normal function as power returns.]

Anders SandbergSpheres : Prime : 2
Tradition :
Cult of Ecstasy
Rote : Aura of Power
The mage channels quintessence into himself and his surroundings. He cannot control where it goes or how it manifests, and it will spread. The result will be that the mage will be quite noticeable, and appear more "real" than the background. It gives a definite impression of power. The negative side is that the quintessence attracts lots of "little nasties" and can suddenly ground into patterns, turning them more real too. Cult of Ecstasy perform this rote by watching light reflecting in the surface of a drink and then make a silent toast to themselves. [ Each success will give on extra dice on social rolls. ]

Verbena
Rote : Revenge of the galloping bowels
Originally developed by a Verbena witch as revenge for against an overly amorous suitor. This Rote simply kills off all of the sybiotic microorganisms within the target's gastro-intestinal tract, result of days of diarrhea and intense pain and agony. The Euthanatos were so impressed with this Rote after seeing it in action they simply adapted it when using Entropy in place of Life. [For each success after the first the mage may either the length of the target's suffering or the amount of pain the target must endure.]

Tradition :
Verbena
Rote : Fanning Passions Flames
This is a rote of relatively recent origins, supposedly inspired by a lonely Verbena one night while she wandered through the romance section of a bookstore. The Cult of Ecstasy swears by this rote and it is often the first rote a Disciple if Life is taught in the Tradition when they begin working with complex lifeforms. Simply put, this rote inspires complete sexual arousal within the target beyond the point of rational thought. The Mage performing this rote is often attacked by the target of the rote, who upon it's completion, is literally panting in animal heat. [This rote requires only one success as it is a very simple tweaking of the target's Life Pattern, once the Mage knows where to perform the manipulation. Interestingly this rote only becomes vulgar if witnessed by the Awakened, sleepers invariably dismissing the extreme reaction as lust at first sight or for some other reason while silently wishing things like that happened to them. For every success beyond the first the Mage may increase either the length or depth of the target's passion. Note that the passion generated by this rote is neither directed or discriminating! The target could just as easily focus on an eighty year old as the Mage performing the rote.]

Rote : Water Breathing
An excellent example of using different spheres for the same effect! Using the Matter 2/Prime 2 effect, you conjure air inside your mouth or lungs ("Boy, he sure can hold his breath a long time thanks to all those tuba lessons as a child!"). With the Life 3 effect, you modify your lungs to take oxygen from water. With the Forces 3/Prime 2 effect (and here's where it starts to stretch!) you generate electrical current inside your mouth to cause electrolysis, breaking water down into hydrogen and oxygen. Just silly enough to work!

Rote : Blessing of Baphomet
All kinds of life in the vicinity of the mage start to grow and multiply faster. Flowers bloom, crops become bountiful, all female beings become fertile. A place where this rote has been used often sometimes looks like a jungle, filled with wines and insects.

Rote : Mark the Blood
The mage "marks" the blood of a person. This marking will be passed on to the children, and so on. Sometimes this marking is bound to a special trait. The mark can be read by Life 1. Different markings have different meanings, and are used to keep track of certain traits. Mages have also found that there exist other markings in several bloodlines, which they have not put there. Some believe that there must have been other mages doing the same thing as they in the past. Other explain it away as a "lusus naturae", a strange but useless natural phenomenon.

Tradition :
Verbena
Rote : Simulate
Sometimes mages have to appear more hurt than they are, for example during medical examinations. Using this rote the mage can simulate all kinds of diseases and wounds, or make wounds appear healed. Verbena usually wash themselves with blood and paint their new appearance using it and special herbs. The results look like the real thing, but are no real wounds (if the mage doesn't want to be *too* realistic, of course). By adding Mind 1 the mage can imprint the correct responses too, like appearing in pain or shivering when touched in certain spots.

Rote : Eternal Youth
The mage simply stops ageing. This requires almost constant low- level concentration, but is often coincidentally explained using a healthy diet involving certain herbs and blood.

Tradition :
Verbena
Rote : Bath of Beauty
The Verbena have never underestimated the power of youth and beauty, and have developed this rote. The mage fills the cauldron with blood, which is consecrated. Then the mage washes himself from head to feet in the blood while invoking the powers of youth and life. [ Each success triples the number of years the mage rejuvenates (1 success 1 year, 2 3 years, 3 9 years, 4 27 years...). If the mage wants to continue rejuvenating another bath is required, and so on. These changes have the same weakness as Improve Self, they suffer from Pattern Bleeding.]

Verbena
Rote : Enchanted Senses
The mage gives himself the sight of the Eagle, the smell of the Dog, the taste of the Rat and the hearing of the Cat. Verbena use to do this by anointing eyes, ears, fingers, nose and tongue with blood while visualising the power and sounds of the different animals.

Rote : Mead of blood
This rote may have started as a kind of travesty of the Catholic Mass. By pouring mead into the bowl and adding a few drops of blood, the priest can turn it into blood. However, it doesn't have to look like blood or taste like it, the priest can make it appear to be normal mead. Afterwards, the mead can be used instead of blood as a foci, be imbibed as a source of strength or even used as sustenance for vampires (although practically no modern kindred know about this. Only the oldest Scandinavian Methuselahs have tasted such mead).

Rote : CHLOE'S SICK TRICK
Waking up to find herself being examined in the emergency ward of a hospital, a young Verbena decided to freak out the medical staff for the hell of it. A pinprick-wound in her thumb pumped out narrow spurts of blood to up to six feet away, whilst she sat there nonchalantly watching the horrified looks on the nurse's face. To top it all off, Chloe sneezed a three-pound blood-clot onto the curtain used to cordon her off from the rest of the ward. Splat. [Prime 2 fuels the creation of a few pints of the mage's own blood. This is, of course, somewhat vulgar. But fun.]

Verbena
Rote : Couvade
The entire army of Ulster was brought to its knees by the use of this Verbena rote in the fifth century. While it has never again been used on such a scale, it remains a potent spell, as many of the Tradition's enemies have discovered to their discomfort. It transfers physical pain from one target, usually the caster, to another. In the case of the Irish army, they were forced to experience labor pains, but the pains of battle injuries are the most common sensation. (If successful, the target will suffer all the pain and wound penalties experienced by the person he is connected to, although the wounds themselves are not transferred. Hollow Ones have developed a similar spell they call the Corsican Game.)

Verbena
Rote : Drawing Out Blood
As the Verbena like to say, 'Blood calls to blood', and this brutal rote is an application of that idea. The witch bleeds herself and then uses the blood to draw blood out from the target. If the target already has injuries, they will bleed copiously. If they don't, they spontaneously start hemorrhaging from various orifaces. Repeated use of this effect is generally fatal to the target, but that's the point. (This rote does a level of damage for each success, and cannot be soaked. Exactly how the bleeding occurs determines whether the rote is vulgar or not.)

Rote : Daze
For the cost of 1 quintessence, this rote creates a small amount of sedatives in the targets body. The target must recieve at least as many successes as the Magick with Stamina difficulty 7. A botch or a failure makes the victim fall unconscious. less successes than the Magick gives a -1 to all dice pools (except arete) until the poisions are purged from the body. Combined with Mind or Matter the difficulty raises to 8 and with both to 9.

Rote : Anti Magic Defence System
This system is used to prevent mages from using Magick or transporting quintessence in restricted areas. They are mostly wired up to alarms, security doors and stun gas delivery systems, but other (nastier) systems can be connected. The AMDS consists of arrays of detectors, which detect flows of quintessence. A surge of quintessence is reported to a central unit, which sound the alarm and immediately activate defence systems. A classic use is for directing Subsonic Pain Inductors (SPIs), small devices which send a subsonic beam at a human target and induce agonising pain (Life 4, damage pain only). The NWO Re-education division uses cells with AMDS-SPI equipment to keep mages under control. Each use of Magick brings instant agony, and the threshold sensitivity is slowly increased, forcing the mage to stop using Magick even at a subconscious level.

Rote : Induce Backlash
Many mages choose not to wait for Paradox to strike, and deliberately induce a Paradox backlash on themselves, preferably while they are somewhere safe, like their sanctum. The strength of the backlash is still rolled randomly. No matter what the circumstances, this Rote always counts as Vulgar, even in the Umbra or in a mage's Sanctum. Thus, the rote always adds at least one point of Paradox to the mage's total pool. Heaven help the mage that botches this effect.

This rote allow the creation of a virus. Given the nature of the virus, it is quite possible that the virus could be customized to interact with a specific life pattern. If the virus is customized to wrk on a specific individual life pattern there is a +1 modifier to the difficulty.

This simple rote allows the mage to bring a simple form of beauty to the otherwise harsh environment. Frustrated with the inability to grow a garden in her new apartment in downtown Toronto, Larissa Iozzo decided to do something about it after listening to the concrete blonde song, "Roses Grow". She added some of her own garbage to the growing pile between buildings (on which her window overlooked), which contained some of her own bloodm having been ritualizedand impregnated with spells. After the next rainfall, small, extremely resilient tendrils pushed their way to the surface. within a week from their surfacing, bright red, vibrant roses bloomed from the garbage heap.

It says you can conjure simple life forms (i.e. invertebrates), but it does not say how big you can make them...thus, observe folks, the Scorpion the size of a Bear!

If they argue that you can't conjure something larger than it's original shape, try pointing out that level 2 life let's you alter simple patterns! You might need forces or matter to allow the creature a feasible chance to survive being crushed under it's own weight or letting said giant hornet still fly, but that up to your ST. (Ever see a black widow as big as a Winnebago? Trust me, folks, it ain't pretty.) This also acts as a lovely diversion, but is nearly impossible to make coincidental.
