Background Information
- This was the Year of the Reckoning book for Mage: The Ascension.
- This is the first Mage book to cease using the "magick" spelling, preferring "magic." Most people did not notice, as this was, after all, a book about the Technocracy, who would not recognize the difference between magick and magic. The next book, Initiates of the Art, presented the game from the point of view of the newly-Awakened, who also would not know the difference. This left only The Spirit Ways and Masters of the Art before Mage: The Ascension Revised Edition was released, at which point a special effort was made to point out the lack of "special k."
