-If an Effect rolls 0 successes or is seen by Sleepers you gain Paradox equal to the highest Sphere used in the Effect
-If the only 'witness' to a Mind Effect is the victim of the effect, Paradox is gained only on a failure.
-Rituals cause Paradox per roll

Counter-Magic:
-You can roll your Arete score as a Dodge roll to counter a spell used on you. This takes your next action just like Dodging would. To do so you must know the highest Sphere involved in the Effect [or have Prime 3].

Quintessance:
-Perception+Meditation points per day, usually in one sitting [usually meditation, prayer, or study]. This takes at least one hour.
-Node has Rating x10 per week to absorb across all Mages.

2 [Average Effect]
3+ [Modifications from Variables]
4-5 [Defeat Enemy]
6-12 [Average Ritual]
13-20 [Powerful Ritual]



General Explanations for Anon:
-Spellcasting is just rolling Arete
-You can't roll more successes in a Ritual then Arete+Max WP
-Prime 2 allows you to create any Sphere out of nothing, not just Pattern spheres. For instance Spirit 3/Prime 2 would be sufficient to create a spirit and Coorespondance 3/Prime 2 would allow you to stretch hallways or create bags of holding or Whovian geometries.
-All rules about needing spheres for targeting are ignored. Most effects only need one Sphere, no effect should ever require more then three.
-There is no such thing as Vulgar with Witnesses in my game, the question is purely whether anyone can see you, and whether the magic performed is clearly impossible [as opposed to merely unlikely]. If someone sees you perform something impossible, Paradox. If no one sees you, or its excusable, no Paradox.
-If the damage seems low, since its in dice not levels, I should clarify that in my campaign "Minions" die automatically if they suffer 3 or more Health levels at once meaning the average skilled marksman or well-thrown fireball is going to kill a non-supernatural most of the time.
