The Mysterium : Voices in the Ether
This box: view · talk

The mage can hijack an extant radio signal, transmitting her own words on it and replacing the original transmission.

While this spell gives the caster the ability to replace one signal with another, it doesn’t convey the skill or talent needed to fake a specific transmission. That requires Skills appropriate to the transmission, which could be Expression, Subterfuge and even Science.

The Storyteller decides what roll needs to be made to devise a convincing transmission.

For example, faking a radio transmission by a well-known radio shock-jock would require the ability to mimic that DJ’s voice, which might be Intelligence + Expression, assuming the speaker’s voice isn’t too unlike the person’s mimicked.


Mysterium Rote: Voices in the Ether

Good for sending police on wild-goose chases and creating scares about Martian invasions, among many other uses, this Mysterium rote is also quite popular with Guardians of the Veil, who cherish its potential for misdirection.
