The mage can perceive the fundamental makeup of material structures and discern their composition, determining their weight and density. Most technologically minded willworkers tend to see Matter in much the same way as most modern people: a scientifically grounded, predictable phenomenon. Other mages see things in a different light. Some describe “threads” interwoven throughout a “Tapestry” (“This unique thread indicates the presence of gold,” for example), while some speak of the Classical Elements — Air (gas), Earth (solid) and Water (liquid).

Success allows a mage to determine an object’s Durability, Size and Structure ratings.

Mysterium mages often use slightly different magic to accomplish the same ends.
