The [[Forge Masters]]’ idiosyncratic approach to magic expresses itself in their approach to grimoires. Instead of books, Forge Masters inscribe their grimoires in metal. The glyphs of a grimoire could hide in the filigree of a bracelet or the chasing of a brooch, but some Powersmiths prefer to hammer their grimoires into the metal itself. Such a grimoire shows no visible
sign of its nature: to read the grimoire, a mage requires both [[Matter]] {{dot1}} and [[Prime]] {{dot1}}, to sense how the mystic pattern of the rote is coded into the crystal structure of the metal.

* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Weaving]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Extended]]
* [[Duration]]: Lasting
* Aspect: Convert
* Cost: [[Cost::None]]

Other than the use of [[Matter]] to impress the rote’s pattern into an object rather than a written form, this spell works the same as [[Inscribe Grimoire]]<ref>see [[Mage The Awakening Sourcebook|MtA]], p. 200</ref>.

[[Free Council]] Rote: Hephaistan Hallmark
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Intelligence]] + Craft + [[Pool::Matter]]
A Forge Master brought the Free Council this rote, which enables a mage to turn any object of metal into a grimoire. The only visible sign to alert other mages to the hidden grimoire is a symbol stamped in the metal. The symbol itself is not magical; it is typically the mage’s personal monogram. Many variations are possible. For instance, a Powersmith could bind a rote into a ring, re-learn the rote and so gain the grimoire’s benefit to casting the rote whenever he wore the ring. Forge Masters in the [[Adamantine Arrow]] sometimes turn weapons into grimoires, so they can gain the same benefit by turning the rote mudra into a weapon-flourish. A few [[Guardians of the Veil]] use this rote to record their secrets.
