The mage severs an oath completely. He
may also use this spell to freely manipulate
an oath he has sworn (with Fate 2).
Successes must exceed the Potency
of the oath to be severed, unless the
caster targets one of his own oaths, in
which case one success is enough.
Silver Ladder Rote: Magistrate's Rule
One who would rule must not hesitate
to break a promise that stands in
the way of good governance. In the
case of an oath sanctified through the
Fate Arcanum, this rote is the only way
to break from it safely, and Ladder
mages make use of it when they must.
Free Council willworkers bound to
unpleasant oaths likewise feel little or
no shame in use of such a rote. If the
one to whom such a vow was made
were worthy, there would be no need
for mystic fetters ensuring complicity.
