			Any mage with charisma can have friends; this Cult,
			however, goes beyond mere friendship. These devotees trust
			and revere you so deeply that, when gathered and directed,
			they can lend their beliefs to your rituals.

			The nature of your cult isn’t important. You might be a
			religious figure with a congregation, an artist with especially
			devoted fans, a professor whose students literally revere him,
			or any other similar arrangement. What matters is the belief:
			your cult accepts you as someone who works wonders, and they
			want to be part of that magic... and so they are.

			As detailed under '''Allies, Assistants, and Cults''' and '''Acting
			in Concert''' (Chapter Ten, p. 532 and pp. 542-543), a group
			of assistants who share a common belief add to the caster’s
			dice pool in a ritual cast with their help. Such rituals can
			involve either mystic Arts or technomagick, so long as everyone
			participates. In most cases, all characters involved must occupy
			the same physical space during the ritual; a potential exception
			could be made for a networked group linked by Mind magick
			or conference technology (a LAN party, video conference,
			and so forth). Again, though, the helpers must hold absolute
			conviction and be free – at least for the moment – from outside
			distractions.

			Cult members are typical Sleepers: not especially skillful
			or accomplished beyond their utter faith in you. Powerful
			helpers are Allies, Backup, Retainers, or other major characters.

			These people, though, have some vital reason to believe in
			what you do. On your end, then, you must fulfill their trust.
			If you want their trust, then at least appear to be the person
			they expect you to be. If their faith wavers, then you lose this
			Background’s benefits.

			It’s possible to have a larger cult, of course – a popular
			evangelist might have hundreds of devotees. After a certain
			point, though, they can help you only so much. The five-dot
			rank in this Background offers the maximum benefit for a cult.

			:X -- No cult.
			:• -- Tiny cult: 3-7 people. Add one die to the dice pool of a ritual cast with that group’s assistance.
			:•• -- Small cult: 8-12 people. Add two dice to rituals cast when that group is gathered.
			:••• -- Moderate cult: 13-17 people. Add three dice to rituals cast in the presence of the whole group.
			:•••• -- Large cult: 18-22 people. Add four dice to rituals cast with that group behind them.
			:••••• -- Huge cult, between 23-30 people. Add five dice to rituals cast when the entire cult has gathered.
