The mage can create a living biological
creature up to the
most complex of natural
organisms. Granted, without
the uses of other Arcana
like Mind, this construct is
mindless, motivated only by
instinct, but few can argue
with the sheer, godlike authority
possessed by one
who is able to conjure up
life at will.
The target number of successes
is determined by the
creature’s Size (on a one-forone
basis) and Physical
Attributes (also on a one-forone
basis).
Guardians of the Veil Rote: New Beginning
Guardians of the Veil have a number of different reasons for casting this
rote. A mindless human body can be created, bribing a troublesome
spirit with a host, or a Siberian tiger could be spun out of nothing, giving
the mage a body to control with other Life Arcanum spells. Some Free Council
mages use this rote to conjure up a desired sample of flora or fauna so as to
have a life form on which to pattern transposed characteristics for the
Transform Self spell (see p. 187).
