Experience Rewards

[Admin Storyteller J]

With the conclusion of the scene "Que Sera, Sera", Joy has successfully passed her Seeking Scene and now has Arete 6, officially making Joy Livingstone the chronicle's first Archmage.

No XP due to Joy having hit the 600 XP mark.

• From now on, Joy must constantly have an active effect up (mechanics to be worked out) or else the world around her will start to shift in order to fit her paradigm. This will generate Paradox if left unchecked (exact rate also to be worked out). This effect does not apply in Sanctums or while in the Umbra (at ST discretion), and will only take effect two weeks after the completion of the Seeking, OR if Joy successfully casts a spell with six successes (not counting WP), whichever happens first.
  
• Joy, having made peace with her past, loses the Flashbacks flaw at no XP cost. She does not, however, lose the Amnesia flaw, having accepted the fact that she may never truly know her past and deciding that it does not define her.
  
• Joy gains the Echo flaw, as a a result of becoming an Archmage. This Echo manifests itself as the world suddenly seeming brighter and more colorful wherever she is whenever she is happy, and darker and more de-saturated whenever she is unhappy.
  
• Joy gains the sixth dot of the Status background for free.
  

ST XP goes to J's sponge.
