Cabal

In both Mage: The Ascension and Mage: The Awakening, a cabal is a group of mages who have banded together for some common interest. The members of a cabal typically share a chantry (in Ascension) or sanctum (in Awakening). The term "cabal" is only used by mages in Ascension; the equivalent term for a group of Awakened Technocrats is an amalgam, whose members would similarly share a construct.
