ANDERS MAGE PAGE 2.0

This is a humorous exercise in understanding how each Mage Tradition thinks.

Order of Hermes

The Preflight Checklist Ritual must be chanted, the correct symbols must be indicated by gesture, and the correct numerological readings must be made, and the multiple mandalas must be spun.

Akashic Brotherhood

By means of meditative ritual and the spinning of prayer wheels the correct mental attitude must be maintained by the pilots.

Verbena

The burning sacrifice of the blood of the Earth which is the refined essence of ancient creatures, combined with the sympathetic depiction of a symbolized bird-shape.

Celestial Chorus

The One is Merciful. (How many passengers and crew offer up prayers at take-off? More than might admit it.)

Dreamspeakers

It is carried aloft by the great howling Technobane spirits beneath its wings. The spirits of the air are fooled by its disguise of a great bird.

Son of Ether

Of course everyone knows how a turbojet works, but most don't realize the gravity-nullifying effect of multiple spinning objects, which would be significant in a jet that size. I'm working on one now which would have the same effect when spun by magnetic fields. Now if only I can come up with a material strong enough to withstand 5.3 x 10E7 rpm...

Hollow One

Who cares? They just do.

Virtual Adepts

The wings and motors, of course, but the complex patterns in space formed by the internal circuitry and software can allow it to manifest in cyberspace too.

Cult of Ecstasy

The pilot's high on caffeine, the engineer is high on gas fumes, the attendants are high on dope and the passengers are high on alcohol. Who needs wings?

Euthanatos

The Entropy of the device is decreased temporarily at the cost of more rapidly increasing Universal Entropy. This is an unstable situation. However sometimes it stabilizes unexpectedly, sending another three hundred souls one step closer to Ascension.
