Example: Nicodemus, an Acanthus Silver Ladder, is going to work a spell against an enemy that threatens him and his cabal.
Step One: "I cast Rotting Flesh, a Death ••• spell. I have four dots of Death, so that gives me 2 free Reaches."
Step Two: "This costs me 1 Mana, because Death isn't an Acanthus arcanum. I am spending 1 Reach to use the spell's extra Reach trait, which inflicts a -1 die to the target's Social rolls each rank of Potency inflicted, maximum of -3."
Step Three: "I spend 1 Reach to cast it as an Instant spell.
Step One: Declare Spell
- Declare the spell, by name and arcanum rating ("I cast Rotting Flesh, a Death ••• spell")
- Note how many free Reaches this gives you (you gain 1 Reach for having the dot in the arcanum necessary to cast the spell, plus one additional Reach for each dot above that).
Step Two: Declare Cost
- Declare any Mana Cost inherent to the spell.
- If the arcanum used is not one of your Path Arcana, it costs 1 Mana. (Ignore this if the spell is a Rote or Praxis spell.)
- Declare any Reaches spent on spell traits.
Step Three: Declare Casting Time
- All spells default to Ritual Casting.
- Spend 1 Reach to cast a spell as an Instant Casting.
