[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

She does have a mystical connection set up between her and MoW, allowing him to look in on her position and target her with Charms and Spells.
 
I am not familiar with that one. What book/page is it in, so I can check to make sure?
 
But, it will also be immediately known to both MoW and Shadow that you did that.
 
Magic Shattering Strike, basically a giant FU to sorcery, sorcerous charms and other magic:


MAGIC-SHATTERING STRIKE


(P. 63)


Cost: 15m; Mins: Occult 5, Essence 4 Keywords: Obvious Mirror (Magic-Devouring Strike)


Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Detecting Glance


Replace the text of this Charm with the following:


Before Brigid discovered sorcery, the Solar Exalted had to counter the world-twisting powers of the Primordials through other means. Magic-Shattering Strike permits the Solar’s at- tack to disrupt sorcery, necromancy, and Sorcerous-keyword Charms. The Lawgiver targets a spell or appropriate Charm and spends fifteen motes. The Charm or spell must be Obvious to the Lawgiver’s senses to be a valid target for Magic-Shattering strike. If the attack (which may use any combat ability) successfully strikes the beneficiary of the spell, then the spell is broken as though targeted by the weakest level of counter- magic capable of affecting it. If the spell creates or summons an automaton or spirit, the Lawgiver’s attack must target that


163 automaton or spirit. If the spell is a free-standing effect, such as Rain of Doom, then the attack must be generally aimed at the center of the spell’s area of effect, and the effect is considered to have a parry DV of (Circle x3) for spells, or (Minimum Essence +2) for Sorcerous Charms. Should the Solar Successfully shatter a spell or charm in this fashion, he gains (Spell's Circle x4) or (Charm's Minimum Essence +2) motes for doing so. Magic-Shattering Strike may explicitly be placed in a Combo with Charms of other Abilities.

I'm not too concerned about that. She's in our house, she plays by our rules.

Uh, no. You can't target the arcane link a Deathlord holds on an Abyssal with Magic Shattering Strike - you'll need to destroy the Monstrance of Celestial Portion keyed to that Abyssal's Exaltation to sever the link.

This does not strike me as saying "yes, there's a spell active." This is saying "Mask has an arcane link to her" which is exactly what I said - MoW has a link to the Abyssal through the Monstrance tied to her. I don't see where you imply something is actually active at the moment. I mean, roll with it any way you like, you're the ST. I just saw misinterpretation and wanted to help clear it up. It's already a bit late since the IC's moved beyond the action that was founded on the misinterpretation, so you might as well roll with it at this point.
 
I am sorry that I was not more clear. I will endeavor to do better in the future.
 
I would just like to say that when Rose says stuff that souns totally corny, they do not to her listeners. Man/app 6 will do that to people.
 
I'm tempted to try and convert Shadow and take her on as an apprentice. The Mentor role has always struck me as a fun thing to try and play.
