Many philosophies throughout time have espoused the notion that life is pain and death brings surcease. Some Awakened could not agree more. This spell deadens the body’s pain responses and terminates
Upon successfully casting this spell, and for the remainder of the scene, the mage no longer suffers wound penalties, does not need to breathe and does not begin to bleed to death when all of his Health boxes are filled with lethal damage[1]. Likewise, he does not register as a living pattern to sensory magics (though Life Arcanum spells can still affect him and he doesn’t count as a walking corpse for the purposes of the Death Arcanum), and perhaps most spectacularly, he can reattach severed pieces of his body with Life Arcanum healing (at the appropriate level for the type of damage sustained in losing the limb, or whatever other part was removed), so long as it is done before this spell’s Duration expires.
Adamantine Arrow Rote: Reaper's Aegis
Arrows die, so that others need not. This rote is just another way of accepting that heavy cost — one that an individual Arrow might just walk away from intact.
