The longer I study science the more I am convinced that it is functionally indistinguishable from what our ancestors would refer to as sorcery. And I would know, being both scientist and sorcerer.

Hi, I have some questions regarding Supernal entities after reading Mage Core Rulebook and Sign of Sorcery. I would like to know if any of following questions has already been answered, thank you for your kind assistance.
1.Are Supernal beings able to use Attainments (except for those related to Supernal Summoning and Rotes)? For example, can they utilize Arcana to protect themselves(a.k.a. Mage Armors)? Maybe they can’t use Yantras in spells, but can they cast spells through sympathetic or temporal sympathetic links?
2.Do the Bounds (exiled Supernal entities) lose Corpus over time? If they discorporate, will they be taken away by Abyss or reform in their prisons?
3.If an Ochemata is no longer governed by Sub-Soul trait and becomes a free-willed individual (as described in "Vital Autonomy"), will it still return to its creator after it discorporate?
4.Since Supernal entities might lose Attributes every time they suffer damage, are the points lost permanently or temporarily? Like, after it returns to Supernal Realm, are those trait points still lost?Last edited by agrelletto; 03-31-2021, 07:58 PM. Reason: Correct typo and make questions more clear.

It s not stated anywhere, but it would be silly to me if creatures with such mastery over arcana could not use arcana attainments.
For the symp yantras, they probably use the rules for magic items (no bonus, but usable for the symp casting if i remember it rightly)
2)from the core, it seems that they lose only mana and returns in their prisons wnen they drop to 0Last edited by Neos01; 03-31-2021, 03:30 AM.

1) Does it mean that Supernal entities just use sympathetic links in spells without the requirement of mediums (and thus no bonus from the Sympathy Yantras)?
2) So it seems that the magic of prisons not only bind the Bounds to Atlantean temples but also protect them from the constant erosion of Fallen World or Abyss.

Sympathy Yantras are necessary to utilize sympathetic links, while the bonus die of them represents the benefit to the mind work of mages, which is not applicable to Supernal beings as they cast spells in more instinctual way.
Thanks for answering my questions!

Sympathy Yantras only provide bonus dice if used at Sensory or touch range.
If used at Sympathetic range they provide no die bonus at all, but are necessary for casting the spell.
The benefit to a good (high Connection) sympathy yantra for Sympathetic Casting is that you can use Borrow Threads to gain the sympathy to the target of the item.

The benefit of sympathetic links derived from yantras is really useful if the caster doesn't have the link to the target or the link is too weak.

2) Demesne's are only paradox free inside themselves. If you target an area larger then it or outside of it, it's still subject to paradox.
