Attainments

First: Vital Force

Prerequisites: Initiation
The mage gains a heightened awareness of the life force and energy within all living things. This Attainment emulates the Life 1 spell “Analyze Life” (Mage, p. 148) combined with the Prime 1 spell “Supernal Vision” (Mage, p. 166). The Paragon may only use this Attainment to study living beings. If she successfully meditates for at least 30 minutes immediately before using this Attainment, her player gains +3 to a number of Focused Mage Sight rolls using Life equal to the Attainment’s Potency, before the end of the scene.

Second: Fire on Water

Prerequisites: Life 2, Prime 2
The mage gains further heightened awareness of the environment around the Paragon. This attainment emulates the Life 1 spell "Heightened Senses" (Mage, p. 148) combined with the Prime 1 spell "Pierce Deception" (Mage, p. 165). One reach is dedicated to making the effects use Advanced Duration, and the other permits the Paragon to track targets by scent and to allowing the Paragon to receive revelations of the truth being concealed by the one attempting to deceive them.

Third: Water on Stone

Prerequisites: Life 3, Forces 3; Athletics 3
The mage hones their life force akin to the Life 2 spell "Body Control" (Mage, p. 148) combined with the Forces 2 spell "Kinetic Blow" (Mage, p. 143). One reach makes this an instant effect while the other is dedicated to granting 1/0 armor and granting the Paragon's blows the Knock Down tilt. Among its various miscellaneous effects, this grants a bonus to initiative equal to the mage's Life Arcana, and grants Lethal damage to their unarmed attacks equal to their Forces arcana.
