The mage can bypass the protection granted by magical Shielding spells.
Each level of Potency allows the mage to ignore one point of magical armor when he attacks targets that possess it. This benefit is exclusive to the caster and affects any targets he attacks during the spell’s Duration.
This spell affects only Awakened Shielding spells. It does not affect mundane armor or armor granted by other supernatural powers.
A mage with Prime 5 can grant this spell’s benefit to another.
Banishers Rote: Eye and Hand of David
Simplicius was a theologian, not a warrior, but in one desperate moment he had to defend himself from a seemingly unstoppable gang of mages. They shrugged off his son’s bullets before they killed the boy. They chased Simplicius to an old quarry. That’s when he prayed that God would forgive him for dabbling in the occult. He gave his magic up to God, and in seeming response, a stone dropped right into his open hand, jostled from above by a witch crawling down to ambush him.
With perfect faith he looked up, threw the stone and knocked the formerly bulletproof enemy unconscious. Simplicius managed to frighten off the rest with a few handfuls of rocks, got away and shared his revelation with other Banishers.
