The caster weaves a web of probability
about herself, ensuring that attacks
are unlikely to affect her. She “just
happens” to stumble at the right moment,
causing a bullet to miss her, or
she unthinkingly turns just the right
way so that a knife slides off her jacket
rather than piercing it.
The mage gains one point of armor
per dot she possesses in the Fate
Arcanum. By spending one Mana, the
Duration can be made to last for one day.
Most mages cast such a shielding spell at
the beginning of the day, as part of a
morning ritual. Successes are used to
combat attempts to dispel the shield.
Note that this magical armor applies
against attempts to grapple the caster (both
his Defense and Fortune’s Protection armor are subtracted from the grappler’s dice pool when he attempts to achieve a hold on the mage), but it does not protect against attempts by an opponent to overpower and/or inflict damage once he has managed to grapple the mage.
Guardians of the Veil Rote: Untouchable
Not all threats to the hidden society of the Awakened stem from supernatural sources. A well-aimed tire iron(perhaps swung by a frightened Sleeper who has seen too much) can prove justas deadly to a Guardian as any ancient curse, so protective countermeasures are sometimes in order.
Adamantine Arrow Rote:
Mages of the Adamantine Arrow also favor this rote for self-defense while about their order’s assigned tasks.
