Rather than drawing a picture of what she wants freehand, she instead has a stock image she can trace or use as inspiration. That reflection then factors into her arcane understanding, enabling her to use that symbol as the foundation for an imago. Yantras In order to use a Yantra, a willworker has to recognize a specific symbolism in the tool. If you’re casting a rote out of a book (which takes hours), or one you designed yourself, you get the rote factor (reroll failures) on the roll. All three use the same dicepool – Gnosis + Arcanum. A Rote is an imago designed by a Master and either cast by following the instructions in a Grimoire or learned with Experiences by less-developed mages. When a mage uses one of her praxes, all Magical Tools (NOT all Yantras – tools are a subset, as you’ll see) count as being Dedicated, which greatly reduces but never quite eliminates Paradox Risk. You get one with every dot of Gnosis, and can buy more with Arcane Experiences. A Praxis is a spell you’ve become especially practiced at, iconic for your character. 2nd Edition Spoiler Rules Types of Spells An Improvised Spell is just that – something you’ve used your knowledge of the Arcana to come up with.
