I've updated/fixed a handful of small things:
1: The Mage Demographics chart now uses "Disparates" instead of "Orphans" as a category. This was done to more accurately reflect the broad range of non-Tradition mages, as well as it being a more neutral term. (Thank you Noel!)
2: I noticed that the Setting page was out of date, so I fixed the wording a bit. There isn't really anything new on there, so you don't need to go look at it or anything. I just fixed the timeline so it no longer says the incident with Leah and the Seekers happened "recently." Annie's return is also mentioned.
3: I added links on the Resources page to all of the wiki guides.
4: Noel was kind enough to fix the sidebar links for the Wiki and the Rote Compendium, so those will work correctly now.
5: I fixed two errors in the Combat and Healing Guide. Under the section about healing with Life magic, it now accurately reflects the difference between healing bashing/lethal damage and healing aggravated damage. Aggravated damage is healed at only 1 health level per success, whereas other types of damage are healed at a rate of 2 levels per success. I also fixed where it said "healing can only be done once every 24 hours to the same target" and changed it to "once per scene" (which is the actual ruling in the book.)
6: I also went in and updated the Life section of the Spheres Guide by adding a couple of clarifications that should have been on there:
All modifications to living patterns, including healing effects, can only be used once per scene on the same target. (Other types of modifications may still be cast on the target, so long as the effect is different.)
Damage from Life attacks can be either Bashing, Lethal or Aggravated, depending on the form they take. Aggravated attacks are those that rip apart the pattern itself (and are always Vulgar,) whereas Lethal and Bashing wounds come from damaging tissue or organs, or a host of other attacks on the body (including disease.) These can be either Vulgar or Coincidental, depending on circumstances.
(In case anyone was wondering where to find more specific details about Life magic, the revised Verbena book has a lot of clarified information in it. I recommend looking at it if you play a Life mage, even if the character isn't Verbena.)
