It’s Easy to Lose Focus

M20 defined Focus as Paradigm, Practice, and Instruments, but the lines between them can be fuzzy. It’s not always clear what the Focus of a character should be, or what magick within it looks like. This can be made even worse by how esoteric many characters can get. It’s fairly easy in many ways to have a weird magick engineer building bizarre things, but what happens when you try it with something more abstract, like mathematics?

It Helps to Have a Bit of Rigor

Paradigm Explored: Number and Shape provides:
• An NPC who can be dropped into many Mage games
• A detailed breakdown of Paradigm, Practice, and Instruments for a mathematical mage
• 11 rotes
• 3 wonders
• A new Node
• A fully detailed Astral Realm for PCs to explore

I really hope White Wolf, Onyx Path or whoever is in charge of World of Darkness compiles all these small PDF entries into a print on demand almanac at some point.

It'd be better if they let the community content creators sell them as PoD, because that way we get paid for it, but they won't even let us do that.

Very nice! The one deviation I'm making from the material as presented is that for me, the Platonic Realm isn't in the High Umbra; it is the depths of the Hypersphere (described in the Virtual Adepts Tradition Book: the Digital Web isn't a Zone in and of itself, but merely _part_ of a Zone; and for all the expansiveness that it seems to have, it's merely the "shallows" of that Zone. Go deep, and you enter the Platonic Realm proper.

As well, the Platonic Realm contains within it the Origin Point, which is what the VAs call the Correspondence Point and which the Batini call the summit of Mount Qaf; it is the center of the "Hypersphere Zone".

That said, you can also access the named Epiphanies from there, in much the same way that the Cyberweb connects the Digital Web to the Middle Umbra.

In case you haven't noticed, this Paradigm Explored speaks to me: if I were to Awaken, this is the sort of Focus I'd expect to have. Thank you for this product.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
