Common Rotes

(Just notes for myself)

Break Upon My Will(Ars Mentis 3)

Taking the Sword Form of Truth and bringing the blade past the flesh and bone of the target directly to its mind, and soul, Cara forces it to accept her will.

Cutting to the Truth

Drawing a pentagram on a flat surface with chalk, one also must inscribe carefully planned arrangement of Enochian runes to focus the Refining Fire in conjunction with Ars Mentis, through the focus of Nothung, to search for the Mentis imprints of the feral hunger of the massassa and any unnatural life patterns; or rather the lack of a normal pattern associated with a mind. One then uses Nothung, by inserting it in the center of the pentagram with a vigorous thrust, to "cut" through false receptions and ego to the truth.

Can't Hit Me

Cara uses Ars Mentis and Ars Essentiae to make it harder for enemies to target her. Mentis to make them not mentally register her correctly, and Essentiae to support that by fiddling with light.

Life Lessons

Beware Wilders. They might possess respectable power.

Somethingsomething

"Supernaturals" or other magickal folk, even if allied, are liable to abandon a little girl in the woods asleep.

It is possible to use the misguided and wrong superstitions and beliefs of demons, such as the KJ, and their followers to work magick without the bothersome interference of a Paradox. Tolerate their paradigm and way of thinking in accordance to ones need.

Magikal artifacts can be quite dangerous for the unready. Tom completely changed in a such short time, but he's a dreamspeaker without discipline.

Cara learned that she seriously underestimated how mentally feeble and corrupt the Dreamspeakers are to endorse Tom's insane Plan. On the flip side if they're being manipulated that's even worst. Also, Cara learned, on a personal note, that she should be MORE decisive. She came to Winnipeg to seize the crown. Instead of giving Tom the handshake of death when they were face to face and completely her mission he waffled. These so called "ancient and powerful" Dream Speakers and Verbana know exactly what's going on. And that's unforgivable since what Tom's doing does not HELP the Traditions. And they've made it personal by attacking HER.
