The mage bestows the “armor piercing” quality upon an object.

The object gains the armor-piercing quality on the next dice roll made using the object. Each extra success affects the object for one additional roll. The player cannot choose which rolls are affected; each successive roll bestows the benefit until the number of affected rolls has been used or the scene ends, whichever comes first. Armor piercing also applies against an attacked object’s Durability. The amount of armor points the object can ignore depends on the caster’s Matter proficiency:

Matter Dots Armor-Durability Piercing
3 Ignore 1 armor or Durability point
4 Ignore 2 armor or Durability points
5 Ignore 3 armor or Duribility points

Instead of affecting a single object, the mage can affect a number of bullets: one bullet per success. He can double this number for each additional Target factor he adds to the casting, with a cumulative penalty of –2 per extra Target factor. In the case of autofire, a short burst with the Armor-Piercing spell cast upon at least one of its three bullets gains the full effect of the spell for that burst.

For a medium burst, at least five of the 10 bullets must be subject to this spell for the burst to ignore armor. For a long burst, 10 of the 20 bullets fired in the burst must be subject to this spell for the entire burst to ignore armor. (See “Autofire,” pp. 160-161 of the World of Darkness Rulebook.)

Adamantine Arrow Rote: Sharpening the Blade

Even the most heavily armored foe can be laid low by an Arrow mage with this rote. Bullets pierce ceramic plates as though they were tissue paper, and even a seemingly crude blade penetrates the most advanced forms of protection. Guardians of the Veil use their own rote (Wits + Crafts Skill + Matter) to enhance their weaponry.


Ancient Lands Pentalogy Rote: Perfected Blades [1]

Though Soter restrains himself from using his magics to harm the Archermen who pursue him, he does use this rote, incanting the spell to the rhythm of his sharpening stone as he hones his blade so that it cuts armor like butter.
