Masters of Matter can forge a substance, when charged with Mana, that’s capable of serving as a shield against mystic will. Called “thaumium” (from the Greek word for “wonder” or “marvel”), this material is created as an alloy of perfected gold (orichalcum), silver (lunargent) and mercury (hermium). (Note: Transmuted versions
of such materials are not acceptable.) The result, when properly crafted, a flawlessly mirrored substance. When charged with Mana, thaumium has a faint luminescence. A thaumium object may take the form of a necklace, breastplate, a watch or a sword. The shape and size of an object is irrelevant to how much inherent
countermagic it provides.

* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Making]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Extended]]
* [[Duration]]: [[Duration::Prolonged]] (one scene)
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Vulgar]]
* Cost: 1 [[Cost::Mana]] (minimum)

One success creates a Size 1, Durability 1 piece of thaumium that has the ability to hold one point of Mana, which it spends to shield against magic. The mage needs additional successes per extra Mana point capacity, and successes are also added to the target number to increase the thaumium’s Durability, Size, armor and equipment modifier (all one point per success). (If a mage wishes it, she could create thaumium with no benefits beyond countermagic.) The alloy disintegrates when the [[Duration]] expires, so mages often cast this spell with an indefinite [[Duration]].
Use the following [[Duration]] factors:

Duration / Successes Needed
* 1 Scene/hour = 1
* 24 hours = 2
* 2 days = 3
* 1 week = 4
* 1 month = 5
* Indefinite = 6

'''Example''': ''Crucible creates a thaumium ring. It has Size 1, Durability 4, a Mana capacity of five points, and an indefinite [[Duration]]. It requires 14 successes to make. One success provides Size1, Durability 1 and a Mana-capacity of one point, while three successes boost the Durability to 4. Four successes boost the Mana-capacity to five, and six successes are needed to make its [[Duration]] indefinite.''

Once made, the thaumium must be charged with Mana points. Each time it shields against magic (a reflexive action unless the wearer does not want it to), it uses up one of these points. If it runs out of points, it cannot shield magic until it is recharged. This shielding takes the form of a reflexive counterspell, effective against any Arcana and both vulgar and covert magic. The protection’s dice pool is equal to the thaumium maker’s Gnosis + [[Pool::Matter]]. The wielder of a thaumium weapon
can use the item’s stored Mana to make the weapon’s damage aggravated. This is a reflexive action requiring one Mana from the thaumium weapon’s stores. Thaumium must be Size 3 or more to act as effective armor.

[[Silver Ladder]] Rote: Hephaestus' Forge
* Dice Pool: Dex + [[Pool::Occult Skill|Occult]] + [[Pool::Matter]]
Named for the smith of the gods, this
rote enables Silver Ladder mages to
create thaumium, perhaps the most
perfect of all substances. With this
material, hostile magics can be deflected
and grievous wounds can be
inflicted upon foes. Adamantine Arrow
mages who have attained mastery
of this Arcanum are also known to
make use of this rote.
