{{Mage/Spell
|Name=Armor Piercing
|Source = Mage The Awakening Sourcebook
|Pages = p.198

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

* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Ruling]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Instant]]
* [[Duration]]: [[Duration::Prolonged]] (one scene)
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Covert]]
* Cost: 1 [[Cost::Mana]]

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
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Resolve]] + [[Pool::Crafts Skill]] + [[Pool::Matter]]
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 ([[Pool::Wits]] + [[Pool::Crafts Skill]] + [[Pool::Matter]])
to enhance their weaponry.

Ancient Lands Pentalogy Rote: Perfected Blades <ref>[[Grimoire of Grimoires]] p26</ref>
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Dexterity]] + [[Pool::Crafts Skill]] + [[Pool::Spirit]]
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.
