Mages

Mages have a Tradition, Craft, Technocratic Group or Nephandic Focus. ( All called Tradition for ease of use.) This gives the mage a lower cost for one Sphere and access to specific Rotes of their tradition.

They also have an Avatar Aspect. The Avatar aspect lowers the exp cost of a single Sphere and associated Rotes. It can be the same or different from the tradition one. Avatar aspect lowers the cost of the sphere rote by 1 xp.

Dynamic Magic

Dynamic Magic is mage's ability to bend the world to their will for size of effect. Fundamentally this is a craft check, the mage constructs a miracle shell that has a specific effect once unleashed onto the world. This can reach truly astronomical difficulties. Difficulty can be decreased by time, Making a science check, breaking a Wonder etc. The ST will set a difficulty based on the spheres they determine are required for the effect and the player will make the Arete Check when they feel they're ready. Failing the check will cause a paradox backlash equal to the initial diff. The bluebook action to craft a dynamic magic check is called Weaving and each action reduces the initial difficulty . Aside from these large miracle effects mages can make smaller edits to scenes. Players can only maintain 1 standing dynamic effect on their haven, city etc.
