Subject: Magicians who MANIFEST?!?!
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 1997 20:27:14 +0000
I just got a copy of Awakenings, and I saw a little piece of
information that really got me interested. On page 42, one of the
comments made by a character (the ones that end with a signature,
like at the bottom of the page in ShadowTech. Is there a name for
these things?) Anyway, On page 42 the guy is listing the abilities
that Astral Space gives to magicians. One of the ones he lists is
the ability to manifest in the physical plane. Is this true? If so,
where can I get the rules for it? Or is it just an error?

Thanks,
- Rob -

You'll need to head over to the Grimoire, page 86. That's where it states
an astrally projecting character can become visible to those in the real
world. I missed it myself when learning the rules and a game session
ground to a halt when much page flipping ensued.

Oh, and those postings are called annotations or Shadowtalk.

Do not confuse "manifestation" with "Manifestation". The former
simply
means that you are audible and visible on the physical plane; the later
means physically present.
