Magic in Barsaive is a single, cosmologically unified thing — the Pattern — approached from as many angles as there are Disciplines willing to reach for it. This section covers it two ways: what it feels like to live in a world shaped by it, and how it actually works at the table.
What it feels like to work magic in Barsaive, why every true working leaves a trace, and what blood magic, enchanting, and summoning cost the people who reach for them.
How all of that translates to Themes, tags, Rotes, and statuses at the table — Astral Sight, prepared spells, Blood Magic, and what failure looks like when a working goes wrong.
