True Age
Description: The Mage focuses on another person, looking for invisible flaws in their life. The storyteller must tell the Mage how old the targeted character truly is, not just how old he looks. This can be quite interesting – Porthos, for example, looks to be about 60-70, but is actually over 500 years old!
System: Remember, if using this rote on Vampires, the mage must use the sphere of matter in conjunction with that of life.
