- Ascension: The process by which a Mage achieves ultimate power over reality, transcending the bounds of their earthly limits.
Much like the similar vampiric state of Golconda, few if any game rules are presented for the actual process of Ascension. It's generally left to the Storyteller to determine what Ascension means in their game and for their players; should player-characters ever manage to reach Ascension, it would undoubtedly be the result of much gaming and exceptional roleplaying.
Nephandi follow an inverse road, a reduction of reality into nothing, a Descension.
