Returning to the summoned taxi example, a mage would have to:
• Employ the Spheres necessary to grab an existing taxi (maybe Correspondence 3 to find a taxi, Mind 2 to nudge the driver in your direction, and Entropy 2 to tilt the odds of finding a taxi in your favor);
• Employ the Spheres necessary to create a taxi and driver from thin air (Matter 4 to conjure the complicated mix of materials; Forces 3 to propel them using internal combustion and electrical currents and to conjure them from nothing; Life 5/ Mind 5 to create a capable driver; Prime 2 to fuel the entire mess; several dots in various Crafts and Science with specialties in Biology and Human Anatomy; and a metric shit-ton of successes scored on an incredibly vulgar
Effect); or…
• Employ Entropy 2 to tilt the odds in your favor; score a LOT of successes unless you’re in a busy urban area; and expect to be waiting a while before getting whatever happens to arrive.
(Yes, we know that Mage 1st Edition used some really wild examples as coincidences. Mage 1st’s magick rules are broken. Please ignore them. Thanks.)
