Your character has an object with an unusual spiritual quality that facilitates his familiar’s manifestation in the material world. Some mages describe this quality as being like an antenna that receives the familiar’s spiritual “signal,” while others suggest these objects actually reach into Twilight and serve as “hand-holds.” Whatever the cosmological truth is, the effects are undeniable.

Each dot in this Merit grants your character’s fetch a +1 die bonus on manifestation rolls within about 10 to 15 yards. The object has a Size equal to its Merits dots or larger. Even if the Manifestation Machine is a stella the size of a car (or is actually a car) it cannot be worth more than three dots for the purposes of this Merit.

You must work together with the Storyteller to determine what this object is. In general, assume a Manifestation Machine object has Durability and Size equal to its dots and Structure equal to twice its dots.

Outside of the Free Council, these kind of “spiritual receivers” are also known as Twilight buoys, spirit flags, fetch channels and myriad other names, any of with are suitable substitute names for this Merit as well.
