Thoughts on reading the glossary in Mage: the Awakening:


When one reaches realms supernal
and awakens soul æternal
and the world we mortals know is shown to be a Lie,

When one learns Atlantean myst'ries
and is taught most secret hist'ries...
first-semester Latin grammar rules do not apply.


"Lex magicus"? I mean, come on.

You'd better watch out, or they'll put that in the next supplement as their in-game explanation ;)

At least in that case they would be acknowledging the problem!

When you have transgressed space, time, self, thought, matter and energy, I imagine keeping genitives, active and passive voices, everything straight would be extremely difficult.

Sort of like Masters of Time who speak always in one tense.

I suppose when you have the power to change reality you could just make "lex" a masculine noun. But that would be vulgar.

It's....ummmm...the secret Latin...that the astral beings speak...yeah, that's it.:-)
