Sensation is a drug for you. Nothing in the world is better than a life drunk like whiskey and savored like a lover's caress. You revel in everything you do and everything you feel. Careering from experience to experience, you take just enough time to soak in each tiny sensation before sweeping off to find another thrill.  The world is full of intoxicating pleasures and entrancing impressions, but nothing lasts forever, so get 'em while they're hot and sort 'em out later!  Other people call you "irresponsible", "fickle", "childish", and "reckless," but at least you're not dead to the world like ''They'' are!  Life is a ride; love is a gamble and common sense is an excuse to stay at home.  There'll be plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.

Sensation is a drug to you. The jittery rush of adrenaline, the caress of this week’s lover on your skin, the raspy pull of a brush through messy hair, even the dull burn of a broken heart – you chase those dragons with bright abandon. The obvious choice for an Ecstatic mage, this compulsion finds new expressions in the Art of magick. The first thing you learn in each Sphere, after all, is perception. For someone like you, that’s all the reason in the world you need in order to learn each Sphere and savor its sensations.

Receptiveness is your gift. Your devotion to sensuality inspires you to challenge yourself. You’re not shy about sharing, either, and your delight in even the most painful stimulation can get other people to explore them with you too.

Hedonism is your curse. Those indulgences can drive you to do stupid, reckless, selfish things. You tend to haul other folks along with you for the ride, and although you might cherish the resulting agonies, your companions are less likely to appreciate them… or you… after a few disasters.

– Regain Willpower when you get a chance to revel in some potent sensual experience… especially if you get to share with someone else. (Novelty, though, is key; when you do the same thing over and over just to get a rush, that rush fades to boredom in no time.)
