I'm going to be blunt. I would not recommend this book.
Most of it is copied from 1e Mirrors. While this wouldn't be bad in and of itself, basing it on what it was updated from, it wasn't adapted to 2e. This is evident in it having a multiple action in one turn mastery - something that was removed in 2e. It takes an odd combination of ripping it and not adapting it, yet not ripping enough because skill tricks aren't included, including a reference for 1e. It's entire magic system could basically be summerized as 'see mage'. This is again, somewhat similar to 1e, but it only includes options for Mage, whereas 1e included options for other lines. If you aren't a fan of Mage, I recommend you stay away from it's magic system. Merit masteries are particularly egregious, as they
The integrity replacement needs work as well. The specific crimes aren't a problem - or they wouldn't be, if they weren't breaking points at all levels. It's just that you will always roll for petty things, no matter what. Narcissist who refuses to go grocery shopping for the Karen next door? Breaking point. Lying to save potential hostages? Breaking point.
Overall, I would recommend sticking to the Mirrors, rather than buying this book.
