Quiescent

The Quiescent are a Legacy associated with no Path and no Order.

Philosophy
Arising in the aftermath of the horrors of the First World War, the Quiescent adopted a peculiar and often-misunderstood philosophy: the world is leaving magic behind, and magic needs to move on or die. Vulgar magic is vulgar for a reason - it's dangerous because it simply should not happen any more. Magic should only be used to make possible things happen, and Mages should stay quiet and out of sight. This Legacy has a particular attraction for the nihilistic and amoral that has led to it being branded Left-Handed in certain Consilia.

Attainments
The Quiescent make heavy use of the Time Arcanum, with Death as a secondary focus.

The Quiescent learn to hide their past from magical and mundane investigation, to sense danger in their immediate future, becoming impossible to ambush or surprise, and eventually to dictate changes to their future, the full scope of which is as yet unknown. With some extra study, the Quiescent can learn to spot and exploit the physical weaknesses in both inanimate objects and living beings.
