Ars Magica (Tabletop Game)	comment	Ars Magica is a Tabletop Role-Playing Game set in Mythic Europe, a quasi-historical version of Europe around AD 1200 with added fantastical elements. It typically centers on the lives of Magi, powerful wizards belonging to the Order of Hermes, and the various mundane folk in their lives. While several details about the world change, sometimes drastically, from edition to edition, the same basic premise applies: the Order is a secret society in a world that believes in magic, founded by the apprentice of a wizard who first developed a unified magic theory and a general defense against magic, the Parma Magica. There are twelve Houses (with a missing thirteenth), each focusing on a particular area of study that the House founder excelled in originally. As of 5th Edition, each of the Houses is also grouped into one of three structures: True Lineages (members must be able to trace their Master-Apprentice Chain back to the House's founder), Mystery Cults (members must be initiated into the House via special rites), and Societates (anyone who shares the House's ideology may join). The Houses are as follows:

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1599db45	comment	Within the Hermetic system, there's a Major Virtue for Mercurian Magic. This Virtue means that your magical tradition dates back to the pre-Hermetic Cult of Mercury and still includes some of its techniques, particularly with regards to Ritual Magic. The Neo-Mercurians go a step further, seeking to reconstruct the ancient rites of the Mercurian priesthood within the Hermetic framework, either as worshippers of The Old Gods or simply to seek out their secrets. House Guernicus, meanwhile, retains the secrets of a few true Mercurian rituals that have not been converted into Hermetic form.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_174c358e	comment	Star Power: The various forms of astrology. Low-level astrology is used in nearly every Hermetic ritual to empower the effect, but those Hermetic wizards who specialize in it can draw up horoscopes for doing lab work, cause spells to take effect or end exactly when they need them to, empower their magic by casting spells at the correct time, and a number of other effects. The Zoroastrian priests of Persia can also use astrology to enhance their holy magic, and the Suhhar Suleyman have an entire discipline devoted to astrological divinations.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Arguably what makes the Tremere as dangerous as they are; they are ALL Well Done Son Guys, out to please no one but their parens (the mage who trained them), who wants to please their parens, who wants to please their parens...note This is also carried over into the Tremere clan of Vampire: The Masquerade. There's no official link between the World of Darkness and Mythic Europe, but it's fairly obvious where to connect the dots. Ceoris, the center of Clan Tremere's politics, is not a happy place. Of course, Clan Tremere's origin is canonically House Tremere of the Order of Hermes... whom the clan exterminated to the last during the Middle Ages.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_18bf4326	comment	Anti-Magic: The Parma Magica is the universal defense against magic developed by Bonisagus for the Order of Hermes. No other tradition has anything close (except for True Faith, which can't be taught, certain divine magic feats, and an application of the Ars Goetia), and any tradition that could would immediately face the full might of the "Join or Die" policy. The Lancea Magica was a breakthrough that allowed any magus to freely penetrate the Parma with a lethal spell. For obvious reasons, this was forbidden immediately and the inventor burned his Lab Text. It's lost forever. Really. Conscentia of Bonisagus was once commissioned to make an small kitchen knife that could both penetrate the Parma Magica and temporarily disable a mage's ability to cast it again. She got halfway through it before she realized that she'd been eagerly designing a weapon meant specifically for the purpose of assassinating mages. Whoops. She claims to have destroyed all her notes.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_18e7aa01	type	Practical Currency
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_18e7aa01	comment	Practical Currency: In general, magi don't trade in silver unless they have to; it's fairly trivial for a covenant to get all the mundane wealth it needs (though being too blatant with creating precious metal has economic and legal consequences). Instead, the currencies of magi are vis and time. Vis covers a variety of magical substances that can boost spellcasting and empower ritual magic and the creation of magical items, among other uses. It's the standard currency of magi, coming in a variety of flavors and measured in "pawns" for historical reasons. If you can buy it somehow, you can usually get it at one pawn for ten Mythic Pounds, but selling vis for silver is highly unusual because using vis can usually generate all the money you could ever spend. The cliche that "time is money" is well-understood by magi. The expectation of the Order of Hermes is that magi will want to spend as much time as possible in their laboratories studying new magic; hence, many covenants require that their members spend a season a year doing service to the covenant or pay scutage for the value of that season. Furthermore, many Quaesitorial fines are assessed in community service — that is, seasons of service to the Order. Inversely, one Tribunal case convicted a Redcap of depriving a magus of power by injuring him, keeping him from working in the lab for a season — the crime wasn't the injury, it was the loss of time.

Outside of Hermetic magic, nearly anything goes.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1be36a63	comment	Immortal Procreation Clause: The Hermetic Longevity Ritual sterilizes the recipient, as do most other versions (the Solomonic Al-Iksir being an exception, like many things Solomonic). In addition, the Gift does not follow bloodlines, so a magus is likely to outlive any children they do have. At least one mage (Aurulentus of Jerbiton) created a Longevity Ritual which preserved the fertility of himself and his wife. This was necessary because he was a Magical Seventh Son who needed to sire seven sons himself to continue his Gifted lineage.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1c169242	type	The Order
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1c169242	comment	The Order: Several organizations think they are this, but in practice it doesn't quite work like that; any purpose that an order might be devoted to usually takes second place to personal agendas. The Order of Hermes is an Order dedicated to the study, teaching and development of Bonisagus's theory of magic. In practice, it's more of a Magical Society that exists to keep a bunch of egomaniacal sociopaths with too much power from killing each other over vis and library books. The Order of Solomon (Suhhar Suleyman) is both more and less of an Order than the Order of Hermes. They take anyone who can summon a spirit and teach the Suhhar's form of magic, and they don't make anyone join, but they do sometimes act as a group and require their members to contribute to the upkeep of the whole. The Order of Odin is an order of Norse rune-wizards (vitkir) at war with the Order of Hermes. It doesn't exist, and never did. There were some rune-wizards who fought alongside Damhan-Allaidh during the time of the early Order, and there are still plenty of vitkir running around now, but the idea of an organized group of Scandinavian runepriests out to topple the Order is a boogeyman with little basis in fact. The Order of Geonim are a group of Kabbalists mentioned in Realms of Power: the Divine who have a truce with the Order. It's unclear what they are; the supposed "Order of Geonim" could just mean all Kabbalists everywhere, or a specific bunch from Barcelona, but there's rumors of a secret order throughout Europe dedicated to protecting Jews from their enemies. Regardless, the Order of Hermes generally leaves Kabbalists alone.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_1c3d047e	comment	The Rival: Believing that conflict is necessary for growth, House Tytalus has an institution of "Beloved Rivals", a lifelong commitment for two magi to challenge and undermine each other at every turn. Though it can sometimes cause death, it stems from a genuine desire to bring out the best in each other, and a magus might well turn against a third-party enemy of their Rival. A relatively common choice of Beloved Rival is a magus' own former master.

It provides a number of wilderness related skills, but among other issues, the character has no native language. House Bjornaer used to frequently recruit those with feral upbringings, but of late they've been trying to improve their image, so it's less likely. Abandoning a child apprentice in the wild for long periods of time so they develop an affinity for animals is an integral part of the training for the Beast Master tradition within House Ex Miscellanea. "Feral Childhood" is an ability package (basically a pre-set allotment of skills) which may be taken during character creation.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_2280a9a1	type	Ancient Persia
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_2280a9a1	comment	The most powerful divine magic of all is found in a fairly minor religion off in the East. The Mazdeans (or Zoroastrians) are a minority group in Mesopotamia and Persia, but their mobeds are descendants (theoretically or factually) of the magoi priests of Ancient Persia, and they were mighty wizards well before Bonisagus was ever born. Since the fall of the Sassanid Empire, nearly all of their greatest magics have been lost, but what they have is still highly impressive. They are masters of Alchemy and astrology, capable of calling angels and destroying evil with flame, and their greatest priests live much longer than even Hermetic magi. A mobed in full possession of the magic of his tradition would be a match for a Hermetic magus, but mobeds of that power mostly don't exist anymore. It's also notable that there are Zoroastrian sub-traditions within the Order of Hermes and the Order of Solomon, wielding Hermetic or Solomonic magic and some of the Zoroastrian power-set.

If a magus dies, there's a very good chance their familiar will die on the spot; if it somehow survives, it's left an Empty Shell, the magic torn out of it with its master's death. If a familiar dies, its magus is not harmed, but is usually left with a massive sense of loss (in addition to the usual grief from losing a pet that's become essentially a family member). If a familiar dies of natural causes, the magus should probably start getting their affairs in order, because that means they don't have much time left either.

Wizards who aren't confident in their own ability to cast one tend to outsource. There's also a Flaw which makes Longevity Rituals less effective upon the character. One of the benefits of the Fairy Blood virtue makes it easier to resist the effects of aging, giving a -1 to Aging Rolls. Strong Fairy Blood gives a -3, and also allows a character to live 'til age fifty before they start aging, rather than thirty-five as usual. There's also the Unaging virtue, which keeps you looking young and stops aging from affecting your stats, but doesn't actually extend your lifespan.

No currently-existing House is fully pagan, however, not even the Germanic Bjornaer. House Tremere and House Criamon both reject all Faerie and Magical gods as unworthy of worship. House Tremere is descended from a Pluto-cult and collectively feels betrayed by gods in general (the Divine is sometimes an exception), while House Criamon holds to a very esoteric philosophy that holds, among other things, that pagan deities are no different from humans and worship is fruitless. Criamon's membership is very divided on the Divine, but the atheistic Criamon nonetheless believe that Jesus Was Way Cool and the Criamon who follow the Divine are working to uphold the structure of the universe.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_41d8a845	comment	Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Hermetic magic is based on this; indeed, the discipline was created when Bonisagus got the idea of putting together a universal theory of magic that could do anything, though he ended up saddling it with some unnecessary Limits, and the Order built around his theory has since begun to ossify and become suspicious of outside knowledge. Spells are developed through scientific laboratory research, and the limits of magic are constantly tested in hopes of a Breakthrough that might amend the rules or even remove one of the Limits of Magic. Magi of House Bonisagus in particular are expected to do original research of some form, creating unique spells or chasing after Breakthroughs, and disseminate it to the other magi of the Order. Most other magical schools have some degree of this too, but few have a full discipline of Magic Theory. Folk Witches do have a certain level of theoretical understanding, as do the koldun of Russia and the vitkir of Scandinavia. Solomonic mages lack a unified theoretical system, but are crack empirical experimenters, especially when blending different magics together. Ironically, this is averted by Learned Magicians. This most academic school of magic has no theoretical structure of its own, and the Mathematici get by on practical knowledge and a little help from external powers.

Because they believe the Heartbeast embodies their spirit, they're quite hostile to other innate shapeshifters, suspecting them of cheating or outright stealing spirits. The minor supernatural virtue Skinchanger lets a character enchant an animal skin so they can take that animal's form. The major version, Shapechanger, lets them learn multiple forms with no need for the skins. Several spells combine the Muto (Transform), Corpus (Human body), and Animal Arts to temporarily transform someone into a specific animal. For example, "Shape of the Woodland Prowler" turns the target into a wolf for a day by draping them in a wolf pelt.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_4c782fb9	comment	Gods Need Prayer Badly: Faerie gods gain vitality from being worshipped by mortals. The Divine is somewhat tricky. The Divine Aura, a.k.a. the Dominion, grows and is spread by places of worship such as churches, mosques, and synagogues, as well as sites of major miracles. However, it can also appear spontaneously in areas such as high mountains and other areas considered "holy". This is known as the Empyrean, and is active w/out human worship. Also, the monotheistic God has an unlimited Might Score, so He can do anything, and whatever He does cannot be resisted. He is not dependent upon human worship. Creatures of magic, including gods, are defined in large part by not needing human worship or caring all that much about humans. However, magical beings (specifically Daimons) can gain power and benefits from theurgic rites dedicated to them. Some take advantage of this, others don't. While all immortal magi have to take special measures to grow and develop (since immortality, by its nature, makes you highly resistant to any form of change), Daimonic magi are the only ones who do so by casting spells and performing other "miracles" for mortal worshipers. This gets them Daimon Points, which they can either spend on bumping their stats and learning new abilities... or trade with other Daimons in what passes for a godly economy.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_4ef62a4d	comment	Full-Circle Revolution: Something of a Running Gag with corrupt monasteries. Existing monastic orders are seen as corrupt, so a lot of monks who are sick of the mercantile and impious ways of their old monasteries go and found a reformist order under a new Rule. The pious reformist order receives a lot of support, donations and members, grows rapidly, and eventually starts to bloat and become yet another order of fat, impious monks in the eyes of the next generation of reformers, who start another order under another Rule... The Franciscans are the current crest of the reformist wave as of 1220, but while Francis of Assisi is Europe's greatest living saint, he's in failing health and lacks the organizational chops to run the movement, and his chief understudy is already trying to reform the Franciscans into operating more in line with traditional monastic Rules...

When a magus who has given a proxy vote to another magus dies, the magus' death is not recorded and the magus who's got the sigil gets to keep it forever (and may transfer it to another magus), resulting in the Rhine's elders having a massive amount of sway and being essentially above Hermetic law. When the Quaesitors told them to cut it out, the Rhine's elder magi responded by "voting" to declare the practice legal, and followed up by threatening Wizard's War against the Quaesitors who prosecuted them. The Quaesitors have decided to let the Rhine's elders do what they want, but keep the practice from spreading to other tribunals and wait for a chance to knock the system down in the Rhine.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_5b965319	comment	Language of Magic: Latin, for the Order of Hermes, or other ancient languages for other magic wielders both in and out of the Order, although they usually need the Gift if they want to play with power. Other languages used based on magical tradition include Gothic for House Bjornaer and Pictish for the Gruagachan. Classic Greek, as opposed to Romaic Greek, is used by members of the Order of Hermes in the Tribunal of Thebes. In very few cases is the language itself actually magical, but when all of the Order's books and spells are written in Latin, you'd best know the language. Pictish, for the Gruagachan, is the exception to the rule that the language isn't magical. The dead language of the Picts is a sacred liturgical tongue that's as important to the Gruagachan as Magic Theory is to the Order of Hermes. The Ars Notoria is written in four dead languages, each of which is written in a different script. Translating the book would destroy its magic, so a would-be reader of the Key of Solomon must be a Cunning Linguist before even unlocking the first of seven tiers of power. The Futhark Runes of the Old Norse language are very much magical, being the core of Norse Rune Magic. Adamic, the first language, spoken by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, is very powerful for magi. One of the benefits is that Anyone who is able to learn it is able to "name" things, allowing the magi to immediately form an Arcane Connection with the named, which boosts any spells used on the target. Of course, learning Adamic is very difficult since it is largely a dead language. It can only be learned in three ways: 1) you can try to study and reconstruct the language by researching ancient languages (much like how modern linguists reconstruct Proto-Indo-European by studying Indo-European languages), which requires to you to find the Tower of Babylon and study the various ancient languages, 2) Somehow sneak into the Garden of Eden and learn from the animals who speak in the Garden, or 3) Find Cain (Cain the Murderer) and convince him, somehow, to teach you.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_5bf69547	type	Gang of Hats
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_5bf69547	comment	Gang of Hats: The Houses, though a rather downplayed variant. Each House has its own traditions, and most have some unique magic of their own, but two members of the same House may have completely different magic, attitudes, or both. House Bonisagus has two separate hats. Followers of Bonisagus are the archetypal lab rats of the Order, while the line of Trianoma are the Order's master politicians. This is for historical reasons; Trianoma chose to remain Bonisagus's apprentice rather than found her own House so she could work as the power behind the throne. The hat for unGifted Merceres is a red cap, but Mercere with the Gift really avert this trope. There are two major subtraditions within the House, a subtradition of one of those subtraditions, and a lot of magi Mercere who don't fit into any of these. Given that there's only about thirty magi Mercere at all, it's safe to say that every Mercere's hat is different. Ex Miscellanea is, as its name implies, another aversion; their hat is being "none of the above." It consists of Gifted wizards adopted from outside the Order (who may or may not practice Hermetic magic), magi who didn't fit in with their old House and didn't find any other House to join, and their descendants.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_6a0f98ee	comment	Perilous Power Source: Magic, if powerful or long lasting, warps its targets. This eventually mutates the targets or in the case of magi removes them from the world entirely. Other magical traditions have their own forms of Warping. Magi can spend vis on a spell to boost both the casting total and the number of botch dice, increasing the likelihood and potential severity of a Magic Misfire. The only form of power that doesn't really qualify is the Divine, and that only for those who know how to use it. The Divine Ascent still changes you, but for its users, the change is seen as a good thing even if it comes with some drawbacks. Although, spending most of your time whisked away to Heaven, while it hampers your ability to get things done, hardly qualifies as a drawback...even if it can lead to some inconvenient situations when you get back.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_6ad1eeb8	comment	Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: Complicated. The Order of Hermes believes that Gender Is No Object and has women and men with full equality; this usually trickles down to covenfolk. However, the outside world is in The Middle Ages. Lords of Men, City and Guild, and The Church go into detail about the options available for female PCs. The short form is that Men Are More Equal: most women are expected to obey their betters, but PCs aren't "most women," and the only hard rule is that women are forbidden to join the clergy. Even women knights exist, though they're extremely unusual. The Suhhar Suleyman grants full status to women, but outside of the Ashab al-Qalb (Followers of the Heart), women are less common than men. Furthermore, sahirs have to work for a living, and not all occupations in the Islamic world are as open to women as they are to men. Among hedge magicians, it's briefly mentioned that vitkir (Norse rune wizards) are a traditionally male art, but it's not impossible that they might take female apprentices in the twilight of the Norse age. Norse women's magic (seithr) is seen as really skeevy, and may be Infernally linked.

The exception is for those who take this feature as a flaw, or who take a virtue that has this as a side effect. Played straight, to a degree, with familiars. If a magus dies, there's a very good chance their familiar will die on the spot; if it somehow survives, it's left an Empty Shell, the magic torn out of it with its master's death. If a familiar dies, its magus is not harmed, but is usually left with a massive sense of loss (in addition to the usual grief from losing a pet that's become essentially a family member). If a familiar dies of natural causes, the magus should probably start getting their affairs in order, because that means they don't have much time left either.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_7958175	comment	Unequal Rites: The Order of Hermes looks down on mages who don't practice Bonisagus-standard Hermetic magery. There's plenty of odd magic around Mythic Europe, and by and large the Order wants nothing to do with it. The current leadership of House Bonisagus (who are in charge of advancing Hermetic magic) are particularly conservative and distrustful of hedge magic, and their ally Philippus Niger is actively involved in hunting down and murdering German hedge wizards. The Bonisagus Seekers try to avert this, to a point. Their schtick is going out and finding ancient forms of magic or meeting non-Hermetic mages, discovering their abilities, and trying to find ways to integrate useful abilities from them into Hermetic magery. That said, this research is out of a desire to improve Hermetic magic, not foster good relations; it's just sometimes easier to steal someone else's secrets than to invent one's own breakthrough. Even within the Order, some Houses' magic is seen as inferior to others'. Verditius gets a bad rap because they require tools to use their magic, Merinita is distrusted because their magic is linked to The Fair Folk, and having Diedne magic in your legacy is still grounds for having a Wizard's March called against you. Part of the reason for the Schism War was that House Diedne descended from a Celtic druidess, while nearly all of the other Houses descended from Latin traditions; unsurprisingly, the Germanic Bjornaer have been keeping a low profile ever since. The Order of Suleiman in the Islamic world tries to avert this. To be a member, a sahir has to prove that they can summon a spirit and be willing to help out the Order. That's it; while most sahirs do use Solomonic summoning, the yatus of Persia, the Kurdish Mulhidun infernalists, and other weirder wizards all have places within the Order. They're at war with the Order of Hermes, but that's because Hermetic magi (though not the Order itself) have become involved in the Crusades. House Bjornaer looks down upon those who shapeshift using a different method than theirs, as their heartbeasts represent an aspect of their souls/nature. Few of them ever learn other shapeshifting spells and those who do are treated with disdain by their fellows (mages outside the house "don't know any better"). Innate shapeshifters are regarded with superstitious horror as the Bjornaer basically believe they've stolen other souls to gain their forms, and lycanthropes are pitied. As such, calling one of them a shapeshifter is a mortal insult.

Nobles normally marry at their parents' bidding, but a woman who inherits land on her own normally immediately becomes a prize for their liege to give to a younger son or supporter, as an effective means of granting land. (Forced marriages are illegal by Church law, but try telling a nobleman that.) Rich merchants also often have arranged marriages, but marital love is expected as part of the deal for the middle class in a way that's not the case for nobles. Furthermore, merchants often have significant trouble coming up with dowries and appropriate husbands for their marriageable daughters.

House Verditius' Automata are magitech Clock Punk robots. It's supposed to be a House secret, but somebody leaked it and integrated it into regular Hermetic practice. The Mechanica of Heron are magical devices developed by Hero of Alexandria and his students. Such things as an aeolipile (a steam engine that does nothing but make people stare in wonder) and a mechanical nightingale with a love for scholarly discourse can be created through this art. It is, however, Lost Technology in Mythic Europe.

Their elders, though, can toss off spells with relative ease, and may have accumulated quite a few utility items over the years through trade or as exercises in enchantment — and are generally either too powerful or too out of it to worry about persecution.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_9bfa1697	type	Eye of Newt
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_9bfa1697	comment	Eye of Newt: Largely averted for spells in the game. A standard spell does not require any components. All ritual spells consume vis in order to power the magic. A spell has to be a ritual spell if lasts more than a month, effects an area that is large enough to qualify as a boundary, or a similar target, if it creates something permanently, or if it simply past a certain level. The one time non-ritual spells need a physical component is when it is meant to be cast on someone or something that is not within the caster's senses. This type of component is an arcane connection. It also helps to overcome magic resistance. Again, the item is not consumed. One supplement introduces potent spells that require certain materials to cast a spell. If the caster does not have the material, the spell cannot be cast, but if he or she does have the material, then it grants a bonus to the casting total. The item is still not consumed, however. When making devices that can work magic, the material of the item is considered in determining how much magic it can hold and sometimes provides a bonus to the magus instilling it with magic. Verditius magi create a casting tool when they learn a new formulaic spell. They must use this tool to cast the spell. If it is lost or destroyed, they must spend the time to make another tool for the spell. The tool itself is not consumed in the casting.

Most such rituals come with sterility as a side-effect, however. Furthermore, most forms of magic have a final Warping that leads to the wizard either disappearing from reality, dying, losing all of their supernatural powers or going irrevocably insane after too much magic use, so the practical limit on lifespan is about 150 years, barring some way around this.

He also came up with a number of spells based around child care. Aurulentus is the fifth, meaning his seventh grandson would be The Chosen One, but unfortunately for Aurulentus, his own seventh son (Arbus Tutus) doesn't seem interested in having more children than his two daughters...and doesn't seem too keen on women at all, actually.

This is part of the basis for Hermetic social structure — if your master is revealed to have betrayed his oath, you have a legal problem. Further, if you go bad, your master has already sworn to hunt you down and slay you.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: While no wizard's apprenticeship is easy (9 months of virtual slavery for 3 months of teaching) the mages of House Tytalus deliberately strive to put their apprentices through the wringer in pursuit of their house's philosophy. Of course, they consider it justified in order to teach their apprentices to question and challenge all rules and to create the kind of resentment that an apprentice needs to initiate the conflict with his master that will mark his Gauntlet (test for full wizard status), a conflict which can continue, sporadically, until the death of one or the other if the master particularly values the former apprentice. The 4th edition supplement The Wizard's Grimoire includes a list of Hermetic legal trials, one of which regards a magus who tortured and murdered his last three apprentices. The court ruled that the apprentices were his to do with as he pleased, and so he had not committed a crime. The "Tormenting Master" flaw generally results in this. Once a year, your parens takes a two-week vacation, during which they devote one hundred percent of their free time to finding some way to ruin your life. Tytalus mages might as well have it tattooed across their backsides. Sadly, the negative effect of the Gift can cause a Gifted child's parents to abuse or neglect them, though their love might be able to allow them to overcome it.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_b1dde8fd	comment	Loophole Abuse: Defied in the optional "Silver Consensus" regulation on magically creating wealth. The rule is that only two pounds of magically-created silver (this is a lot of money) may be traded to mundanes per magus per year. Creating gold and gems for trade instead is not only still punishable, but the magi responsible will be mocked for being so utterly unoriginal. Hermetic magi swear not to "interfere with the affairs of mundanes and thereby bring ruin on my sodales" (i.e.: other magi), on pain of death. However, depending on the region and the specific interference, the second half of the vow tends to undermine the first — if mundanes disappear or meet unfortunate accidents in ways that don't bring the Order into disrepute, then, well, that's just a pity. The Transylvanian Tribunal is limited to five covenants, as a result of a ruling after Tremere's attempt to seize power over the Order. So except for Coeris, they don't use covenants much at all; they use oppidia, which are outposts in the Tribunal that function differently from standard covenants. When the Order forbade magi to sell enchanted items to mundanes, Verditius magi started hiring mundane middlemen to make sales on their behalf. They also voluntarily limited their sales so as not to push their luck.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_b9085a47	comment	Summon Magic: The specialty of the Order of Suleiman, the dominant magical order of the Islamic world. All of their magic involves summoning jinn (or sometimes other spirits) to power their effects. The Hermetic mysteries of Theurgy also involve summoning spirits, with varying magical effects. The Ars Goetia is a distinctly forceful and often brutal method of summoning, which makes sense, as it was meant to control and force demons into behaving helpfully. Unlike most Infernal magic, Goetic summoners aren't inherently evil (though other Goetic Arts are), and in fact the example given is an honorable Intrepid Merchant who mostly uses it to make mystical artifacts (and he actually hates using it to summon the Infernal itself, mostly keeping his stuff restricted to Faerie and Magic).

Being brought back by the Divine results in severe Warping that gets worse the longer you were dead before being resurrected and the longer you continue to live. Some subjects also end up with virtuous impulses they can't explain.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_c66f2bb5	comment	Witch Hunt: The reason the Order of Hermes keeps a low profile. While most people in Mythic Europe don't think too hard about the occasional wise woman who lives in the woods or weird magician in a tower, the idea of open conflict between the Church and the Order is a headache no one wants to deal with. The Church is cognizant of the Order and prefers to leave it alone. It's not so much a secret as it is something that isn't widely bandied about. The Church know that the mages can wipe them out if angered enough, so they ignore them. The Order know that God can wipe them out if angered, so they leave the Church alone. It's a beautiful balance of power. The Order of Hermes also enforces its own "Join or Die" policy with regards to other magical traditions; though admittedly this is rarely invoked unless the other tradition has somehow learned the secret of the Parma Magica or some similar means of Magic Resistance... Occasionally, some mundane noble or bishop gets the idea to declare a general hunt for wizards. However, this is very much a case of Bullying a Dragon, and the usual reply from the Order is the death of the noble and his entire army.

A small magical stone statue of a pig can learn to sing. The end of the entry says "Not being sentient, the statue is probably not annoyed." This refers to a saying by Mark Twain: "Don't try and teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig." Robert A. Heinlein included a re-worded version in the "Notebooks of Lazarus Long" segments of his novel Time Enough for Love: "Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig."

The Purple Islands (also called the Canaries) are likewise occupied by a people who are governed by wizard-kings. This is probably not a coincidence; Soqotra and the Canaries are both possible locations for the Gardens of the Hesperides, and the magic of each place is governed by a serpent who protects a magical tree. Exactly what is going on is unclear. Several supplements go into detail about how setting up a working magocracy could be done. On a smaller scale, most covenants include magical servants, and many hold land and assets in their own right. The main problem is that doing this is likely to run afoul of the Code's provisions against interfering with mundanes.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_d0309fad	comment	Religion is Magic: The Divine Realm (alternately, the Dominion) draws its power from God, and divine power can make awe-inspiring effects (though pure divine magic doesn't match up to the power of the Hermetic Arts), and an area influenced by the Divine serves as Anti-Magic for any non-divine power. The big limitation is that it cannot be intentionally used to sin, and it's very difficult to learn without True Faith. Holy Magic is a form of Hermetic magic adapted to the Divine Realm. It's difficult to use, because Hermetic magic is based in pagan charms that can't be used with it, and Hermetic magi dismiss it as a joke in poor taste, but it allows for wondrous effects that can bend or break Hermetic limits, and it can also be used safely within a Divine aura. Kabbalah is Jewish holy magic. It's unusual in that most Kabbalists do not have True Faith, but it's still highly effective and has its own (small) order of users (the Order of Geonim) who have a peace treaty with the Order. Useful for creating golems and calling angels through the Chariot Mysteries, but also somewhat dangerous, as its practitioners often become curious about the Infernal or addicted to its power. Christians and Muslims don't actually have a lot of divine magic. For Muslims, it's pretty much the exclusive province of Sufis, while among Christians, it's pretty much limited to small holy orders and lone saint-mystics. The big joker in the deck are the Cathars, whose Perfecti have already developed some pretty potent magic as a result of their Gnostic theological heritage. The most powerful divine magic of all is found in a fairly minor religion off in the East. The Mazdeans (or Zoroastrians) are a minority group in Mesopotamia and Persia, but their mobeds are descendants (theoretically or factually) of the magoi priests of Ancient Persia, and they were mighty wizards well before Bonisagus was ever born. Since the fall of the Sassanid Empire, nearly all of their greatest magics have been lost, but what they have is still highly impressive. They are masters of Alchemy and astrology, capable of calling angels and destroying evil with flame, and their greatest priests live much longer than even Hermetic magi. A mobed in full possession of the magic of his tradition would be a match for a Hermetic magus, but mobeds of that power mostly don't exist anymore. It's also notable that there are Zoroastrian sub-traditions within the Order of Hermes and the Order of Solomon, wielding Hermetic or Solomonic magic and some of the Zoroastrian power-set. A particular trick common to House Jerbiton (though anyone can do it) is to invoke the patron saint of a city and ask for "the right to defend the City." This gives a pass to any virtuous use of magic within a Dominion aura.

A magic item in the adventure is a potion which, if poured over an area, will give the area an Infernal aura associated with the demons of Hell. The adventure specifically withholds the information of how to create and use the potion because Player Characters should not want to carry out such a heinous, malignant crime.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_d3b02ffb	type	I Know Your True Name
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_d3b02ffb	comment	I Know Your True Name: Mages eventually end up with three names. Their True Name (the one given to them by their parents at birth), their apprentice name (used by their master during apprenticeship) and then the Hermetic Name (which they choose for themselves after their apprenticeship is complete). This is all because the True Name is an extremely powerful weapon in the hands of one's enemies, particularly non-Hermetic ones. Demons are especially susceptible to the use of their True Names, and invoking a Demon's true name against them usually doubles the effectiveness of whatever spell or command is being used. In 5th edition, knowing the True Name of a demon (or angel) counts as an ability and forms a powerful (x5) Arcane Connection to it. It should also be noted that, according to Realms of Power: The Divine, a character's Baptismal Name cannot be used as a Sympathetic Connection.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_e3d90a27	type	Layered World
Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_e3d90a27	comment	Layered World: In addition to the mundane material world, there are four other planes of existence known as Realms of Power. Each supernatural power or creature is associated with one Realm. Each realm interacts with the others in unique ways. In alphabetical order: The Divine Realm: a.k.a. Heaven, the True Empyrean. The realm of the monotheistic, omnipotent God (in game terms, he has an unlimited Might score, meaning that He can do whatever He wants, and that a direct Miracle cannot be stopped) of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism, as well as monotheistic cults like that of Sol Invictus. It is also the home angels and divine messengers, saints, and the righteous dead. In keeping with medieval popular cosmology, the Divine is associated with any trans-lunar celestial phenomena, such as the Sun, stars, and planets. Heaven proper lies beyond the lunar sphere, and is therefore beyond the reach of Magi. The Divine appears to encourage moral and virtuous behavior and is absolutely opposed to all things Infernal. In terms of realm interactions, the Divine is the most powerful. The Divine Aura diminishes Magical Powers, considerably diminishes Faerie Powers even more, and practically cripples Infernal powers. Divine powers are not penalized by other realms. It's Aura, known as the Dominion, is associated with holy sites such as churches and mosques, the sites of miracles, as well as naturally occurring holy grounds such as mountain tops. Since the Dominion also penalizes Hermetic magic, getting around it is a major (but not impossible) challenge for magi. The Faerie Realm: The realm of Faerie is the realm of the subjective perception and personal journeys, a constant change that reshapes reality in the most exciting way, only to tell an inspiring story. Whereas the Magic Realm is the static realm of archetypes, the Faerie Realm is a chaotic place that revolves around the creation of stories and narratives. It is the home of Faeries, which include many of the polytheistic deities and spirits of non-monotheistic traditions. Faeries are attracted to, and are in many ways defined by, the beliefs and stories of humanity. Faerie Auras manifest in old pagan temples and sacred sites, and in areas in which stories are set: The more popular and widely known the story, the stronger the aura. Faeries themselves are creatively void, and seek to "play" with humans, often trying to mimic human behavior, all in an effort to experience something new. Realm interactions: Faerie Powers are mildly enhanced by Magic Auras, and are diminished by the Infernal, and heavily diminished by the Divine. Faerie Auras enhance Magic Powers, diminish Infernal Powers, and does not affect Divine Powers. Faeries are vulnerable to iron and obsessed with oaths. Magi are wary of doing any deals with the Fae. The Infernal Realm: a.k.a. Hell. The embodiment of evil and entropy-of physical and moral corruption and the negative counterpart to the Divine. The realm of the Adversary (Satan to Christianity, Iblis in Islam, etc.) and the demons and devils and the damned. Hell is associated with chthonic areas, dark places, lawless regions, as well as sights of atrocities and desecrated holy places. The Infernal encourages immoral and unethical behavior, and Infernal creatures often tempt mortals with Faustian pacts. In terms of realm interactions: the Infernal Auras diminishes Magic powers, and Faerie powers to a lesser extent, whilst unaffecting Divine Powers. Infernal powers are diminished by Magical and Faerie auras, and are heavily crippled by Divine Aura. Whilst many magi may attempt to fight demons, the Order as a whole is careful not to declare all out war on the Infernal, lest Hell unite to destroy the magi. The Magical Realm: In contrast to the Faerie Realm, which is all about personal journeys and subjective stories, the Magical Realm is the objective realm of pure Platonic archetypes, of idealized objects already in existence. Whereas the Faeries are addicted to, and dependent on, human creativity and narratives, the inhabitants of the Magical Realm are more idealized forms of already existent mundane objects and natural phenomena and mundane creatures ("beasts of virtue"), and they tend to be indifferent to humans unless directly confronted. The realm of Magic is home to elemental spirits, as well as humans that have turned into spirits that may have become deities worshiped by humans. Magical Auras often appear at random, although they may show up after the working of powerful magic or the death of a powerful creature, places acquire a magical aura, but most of the time it is unclear why a certain place is magical. Realm interactions: Magical Auras have no effect on Divine Power, slightly enhance Faerie Power, and diminish Infernal Power. Magical Powers are diminished by the Infernal, heavily diminished by the Divine, and is slightly enhanced by Faerie. All magi have a connection to the Magical Realm thanks to their Gift. Some magi are able to ascend into becoming daimons, powerful spirits that depend upon their mortal followers in order to interact with the mortal realm.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_e42fbc	comment	The Gift: The central conceit of Ars Magica. Only those with The Gift may learn and use Hermetic Magic. Magical ability (referred to as the gift) instantly puts the primary player character class, magi, above the rest of the mundane world. One down side of the Gift is the strong emotional effect the Gift has on those around the Gifted person, making them suspicious and mistrustful of the Gifted individual, inspiring envy. Social interactions between Gifted individuals and the mundane are especially difficult. Mundane animals are also greatly unsettled by the presence of someone with The Gift. If you don't have the Gift, then you can't learn hermetic magic. There are other types of magic that can be learned. For instance, the magi of the Order of Solomon, rather than cast spells themselves, summon djinn to do their magic for them, although the non-Gifted use their magic at a significant disadvantage. In addition, there are several possible ways to get the Gift if you're not born with it, but they're all either dangerous, come with strings attached, or otherwise generate stories.

However, his research overlooked many older traditions, including various hedge magics, Norse rune magic, and Canaanite Necromancy, which are less versatile but can accomplish results that Hermetic theory thinks impossible. Within the Hermetic system, there's a Major Virtue for Mercurian Magic. This Virtue means that your magical tradition dates back to the pre-Hermetic Cult of Mercury and still includes some of its techniques, particularly with regards to Ritual Magic. The Neo-Mercurians go a step further, seeking to reconstruct the ancient rites of the Mercurian priesthood within the Hermetic framework, either as worshippers of The Old Gods or simply to seek out their secrets. House Guernicus, meanwhile, retains the secrets of a few true Mercurian rituals that have not been converted into Hermetic form.

This jealousy and mistrust makes the mage a VPM in their eyes. The Blatant Gift Flaw magnifies this effect into thinking the mage is an actively dangerous person and can lead to being physically attacked. The ways around this include being unnoticed (doesn't work for the Blatant Gift), being a Nice Guy every time they see you over the course of several encounters so they recognize their gut reaction is inappropriate and unwarranted and fight it down (lie down and be an Extreme Doormat, Blatant Gifters), being born with the Gentle Gift (incompatible with Blatant Gift), or the other person being protected by the Parma Magica.

House Bjornaer, likewise, does not allow its members to join another House. Any magus who leaves or who is cast out of the House will immediately face the wrath of the House through multiple Wizard's Wars.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_edcc813f	comment	Fantastic Caste System: The Three Estates of clergy (those who pray), nobility (those who war) and everyone else (those who toil). Magi are outside this system, though one option in Transforming Mythic Europe has a movement toward magi becoming the Fourth Estate, with a specific duty to defend Christendom from supernatural forces. The Transylvanian Tribunal is organized based on the "five privileges," which are a way to classify magi in a Tribunal that doesn't employ the covenant system of the rest of the Order, as well as a way of getting around an old ruling against House Tremere. Civites ("Citizens") are Tremere magi and "honorary Tremere" who work with the Tribunal, paying taxes, serving as part of the House's organization and living by Tremere customs, and in turn receiving the full benefits available to Tremere magi. Socii ("Members") are Hermetic officers; Quaesitores, Redcaps and recognized Hoplites. They receive the support of the Tribunal and are permitted to adhere to their own customs so long as they perform their Hermetic duty. Foederati ("Allies") are foreign magi and their Hermetic descendants, admitted to the Tribunal in exchange for specific duties. They're largely allowed to hold their own resources, but have tight restrictions on their trading rights. Hospites ("Guests") are magi hired by House Tremere to do specialized work. They're well-paid and not expected to provide general support or taxes, but have no political rights. Coloniae ("Colonists") are young foreign magi allowed to settle in underutilized parts of the Tribunal. They receive limited resources, their privileges at Tribunal are restricted, and they may not take apprentices without permission.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_ef878d58	comment	Court Mage: It's absolutely forbidden for magi of the Order to take this position, but Hedge and Rival traditions are quite happy to take the position of "court wizard." The Augustan Brotherhood, with magical powers based on reading the Aeneid, specialize in taking this position, and the Suhhar Suleyman have a mechanism for doing it without getting the Order as a whole involved. Other hedge-wizards sometimes take the job. Notably, however, most court wizards are charlatans or very weak, as any wizard with the Gift will find it almost impossible to maintain a position at court due to the social difficulties caused by the Gift.

Ars Magica (Tabletop Game) / int_f7fd81dd	comment	Clean, Pretty Childbirth: Magi can invoke this, but childbirth without wizardly assistance averts this to often fatal extremes. One spell instantly teleports the baby out of the womb. One feels compelled to note that the rules allow an entrepreneurial mage to imbue the spell into a top hat... Aurulentus of Jerbiton devised a spell that widened a woman's pelvis, making childbirth considerably easier and safer for his wife. It seems to have worked out pretty well, as she agreed to keep crankin' out kids until he had the seventh son he was looking for. Solomonic Medicine allows for a guaranteed trouble-free birth if a Solomonic physician is in attendance.
