-**• Resources 3:** Xpo has a nice, upper-middle-class life. Every item has an Availability rating; once per chapter, she can procure an item at Availability 3 or lower without issue. Obtaining an Availability 4 item reduces her effective Resources by one dot for a full month, since she has to rapidly liquidate funds. She can procure Availability 1 items without limit (within reason).

-**• Status: Free Council 1:** Xpo is a probationary Libertine and receives a +1 bonus to any Social roll involving those over whom she has authority or sway. Additionally, she can access Artifacts, Imbued Items, mentors, libraries, Grimoires, and other magical resources. The Storyteller should assign an Availability rating to the item she seeks, related to the power level or regular Merit rating. Xpo considers her Status dot as Resources for procuring these magical resources. Merits suitable for requisition include Alternate Identity, Grimoire, Hallow, Imbued Item, Library, Mentor, Resources, Retainer, Safe Place, and Sanctum, all with Availability equal to their dot rating.

-**• The Train Car (Shared) 12:** The Young Turks have discovered and claimed a mysterious train car that shifts between the Red, Orange, and Blue lines; Sleepwalkers only register the car as ‘shut down due to hazard.’ The Train Car combines the Hallow, Safe Place, and Sanctum Merits; it produces 4 points of Mana per day and can store 12 tass before it becomes “dormant” and stops producing Mana until all the tass is harvested. Xpo can add +4 to her Gnosis within the Sanctum for determining spell control. She can leave the Train Car and retain those benefits on previously cast spells, but if she’s exceeded her Gnosis and adds any additional, controlled spells, the benefit goes away, and Xpo must Reach as if she’d cast each of those spells without the benefit. Finally, the Train Car gives Xpo a +4 Initiative bonus while inside. Any efforts by rivals to breach the Train Car suffer a -4 penalty and must also contend with traps that cause 4 lethal damage. The traps may be avoided with a Dexterity + Larceny roll with a -4 penalty.

 **Counterspell**
-**• (Mind, Prime, Space, Time):** Xpo can attempt to disrupt a spell using the specified Arcanum that is about to be cast. Counterspell is a Clash of Wills, pitting the acting mage’s Gnosis + Arcanum against Xpo’s Gnosis + Arcanum. She can attempt to counter any spell that uses the Arcanum, even if it uses other Arcana as well, but always counters the highest Arcanum of a target spell. Countering the spell of a mage with a higher rating in the target Arcanum requires Xpo to spend a point of Mana. Counterspell requires an instant action. If Xpo is employing Active Mage Sight, she can attempt to counter a spell of the appropriate Arcanum in combat, regardless of her position in the Initiative order, provided she has not used her action yet.

 **Lesser Utility Attainments**
-**• Space 2 – Sympathetic Range:** Xpo can cast spells using her sympathy to a subject she cannot see. She requires a sympathetic connection to the subject, and a Yantra symbolizing that subject to use as a focus for the spell. She must be casting a spell at sensory range, use a sympathy Yantra, and spend one Mana. The spell is Withstood by the fragility of the sympathetic connection between Xpo and her subject, but if Xpo does not know the sympathetic name of the subject the Withstand level increases by one.

-**• Time 2 – Temporal Sympathy:** Xpo can cast a Time spell at the past of a subject. She must be casting a spell on the subject as it exists now, cast at sensory range, use a sympathy Yantra, and spend one Mana. The spell is Withstood by the fragility of the temporal sympathy between Xpo and her subject, plus one Withstand level if she does not know the sympathetic name of the subject. It is possible to combine this Attainment with Sympathetic Range to cast on a subject both in the past and at a distance beyond the sensory by paying to activate both Attainments, but unlike Sympathetic Range, Temporal Sympathy can only be used on Time spells that call for it and other spells Combined with them.

 **Mage Armor**
-Mage Armor requires a point of Mana to activate with a reflexive action, whereupon it remains active for the scene, even if Xpo falls unconscious, unless she dies. Xpo can only benefit from one form of Mage Armor at a time but can spend Mana to change between Arcana as a reflexive action. Mage Armors that increase Defense work against surprise attacks.

-**• Space Armor:** Xpo adds her Space rating to her Defense. She also applies her Defense to firearms attacks. In addition, if Xpo successfully Dodges an attack, she can spend one point of Mana to redirect the attack to another applicable target. The attack hits with successes equal to Xpo’s Space Arcanum rating.
