This spell temporarily enchants a weapon or a single magazine of ammunition (the clip can be no larger than Size 1) so that it inflicts [[aggravated]] damage. 

* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Patterning]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Instant]]
* [[Duration]]: [[Duration::Prolonged]]
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Vulgar]]
* '''Cost''': 1 [[Cost::Mana]]

The spell “supercharges” the weapon or ammunition’s Pattern, giving the weapon or ammunition the intense reality of a Supernal form. Fallen objects can’t endure this for long, however.  The weapon or ammunition burns, melts or disintegrates once the spell’s Duration expires.

Dorjee talked about demons all the time because they plagued his dreams. After a near-death experience, he was trapped in a bardo or psychic “gap,” constantly confronting the Wrathful Deities that monks told him about when he was young. For years now, those same monks came to him, sharing their alms in exchange for his insights about spiritual realms.

Every night, Dorjee screamed in his dreams, but every dream taught him something new. So when the demon came disguised as a newly arrived monk Dorjee knew what to do. He stole a vajra — a knife that represented the “thunderbolt” of enlightenment — and stabbed the monster, calling on the absolute reality of the dharmakaya to dismiss its incarnation.
