Rote spells, also known simply as “rotes,” are tried-andtested magical formulae, handed down from master to apprentice, and developed over the course of a mage’s training and practice in the Art. Every rote started out as an improvised spell. A mage comes up with a spell for a particular purpose and finds it useful enough to use the same spell over and over again. The mage teaches others to envision the spell’s Imago and perform its casting gestures, and they in turn pass it on. Over time, the spell becomes a standard, known to many or all mages in an order, learned and cast by rote.

Despite their additional cost, rotes have a number of significant advantages over [[Improvised]] spells: greater reliability, lower [[Mana]] cost, less chance of causing a [[Paradox]] — a lurch in reality — and a lighter resonance “signature,” making it difficult for others to identify the caster by examining the spell.

{{info}} Rotes use a dice pool consisting of [[Attributes|Attribute]] + [[Skills|Skill]] + [[Arcana]] rather than the [[Improvised]] spell pool of [[Gnosis]] + [[Arcana]]

{{info}} Mages are forbidden to teach an [[Order]]’s rotes to anyone not of the same [[Order]].

{{info}} A mage can learn a rote from someone who already knows it. He must spend time studying with that person, and then experience points must be spent at a cost of two points per the highest Arcanum dot used in the rote. Few mages teach their rotes for free; most levy a cost in one or more favors owed.
: ''Example: Arctos wants to learn the “[[Telekinetic Strike]]” rote from his [[order]]. Since it is a [[Forces]] 3 rote, it will cost him six experience points (two points per dot).

{{plus}} Mages do not have to pay the extra [[Mana]] surcharge on non-Ruling [[spells]] if it is cast as a Rote.

{{plus}} Rote spells reduce the [[Paradox]] pool by one dice.

{{plus}} Rotes are more difficult to [[Scrutiny|Scrutinize]], requiring 5 Successes to determine the caster's identifying resonance (Identification)<ref>[[Mage The Awakening Sourcebook|MtA]], p.278</ref>.

{{minus}} Rotes require [[Rote Mudras]], noticeable hand and/or body gestures and movements.
