Good afternoon,
I tried searching the forums to see if this had been answered already but didn't find it if so.
In Mage 2E, it says Unmaking spells are always resisted by Withstand. But when it comes to an exceptional success, you can bypass Withstand entirely and with a Rote you can get an exceptional success with 3 instead of 5.
My question is how does this work exactly? If someone tries to destroy someone else with whatever Arcana 5 version of an Unmaking spell, do they always add Withstand since it's an auto-kill or if the attacker gets 3+ successes on a Rote, is it curtains for the target?
I know there's dispellation, Prime, etc which can factor in when mages fight one another. Just seeking some clarification for how the system is intended to work.
Thank you!
