The Mysterium : Earth to Earth

This is a Mage House Rule This rote can only be learned or taught by a Tamer of Stone


The age-old fear of the magician comes all to often from the fear of transformation, the fear that the worker of wonders is going to be able to take control of your form. The fear of becoming stone, of becoming hard, dead and immovable has preoccupied the tellers of myth and fairytale for centuries. The mages who can actually make it happen are few. The mages who can make it last are even fewer.

The mage must first grab hold of the target, with a roll of Strength or Dexterity + Brawl – the target’s Defense. If the mage is successful, he can cast this spell as a reflexive action. If the casting succeeds, the subject’s body and any possessions he is wearing become hard stone. As long as the spell lasts — determined by the spellcasting successes (see below) — the subject is literally made of solid, insensate stone, with his life functions suspended harmlessly. When the spell duration ends, the subject has no memory of being stone.

Successes Duration
1 1 turn
2 2 turns
3 3 turns
4 5 turns
5 10 turns

The victim becomes extremely hard, gaining Durability 3 as if he were an object; this Durability must be exceeded by any attack before his Health can be damaged. He’s impervious to fire and electricity while made of stone, and inert (and so immune to acid).

Mysterium Rote: Earth to Earth

Man was once earth, and earth man will become: it’s one of the great secrets of the world. The user of this rote can call forth the earth from within someone, transforming her to elemental stone.
