universe. Electromagnetism, fire, gravity, kinetic energy and nuclear power are all within
its purview.
Forces is the study of rapidly changing Patterns – energies that are in constant, complex
motion.
Forces is a very powerful Sphere, but also somewhat limited. It encompasses the most
common effects of mystic wizards – throwing fireballs, conjuring lightning, lifting things
with the power of your mind. Yet, their flashy nature makes these Rotes prone to
Paradox, and more importantly, there are many problems that can’t be solved just by
throwing sunfire at them.
Forces cannot create forces from nothing – to do so requires the Prime Sphere, and
Quintessence. (However, there is usually enough energy around the Mage to fuel all but
the largest effects without needing to create more from nothingness.) Forces cannot
make minute or precise changes without the aid of Mind to coordinate the effects (such as
telekinetically building a clock). Range is limited without Correspondence, and a Mage
cannot affect the forces in an object or living being without Matter or Life.
