From the Author

This book includes information on the Akashic Brotherhood.
I worked on several sections of this roleplaying book based on White Wolf's "World of Darkness" (WoD) and the Mages that live within it. The book deals with the effects that people's wills can have in shaping reality. The Book of Shadows is an additional resource book to be used with Mage:: The Ascension.

The book includes information on the various Traditions of Mages that populate the WoD. It also includes information on making detailed characters in the Mage system with Merits, Flaws, and more Abilities to expand upon those given in the standard game book.

I worked on sections about the Akashic Brotherhood Tradition with another author Sam Inabinet.

The Akashic Brotherhood is a group of martial artist/meditative monks that relies upon a special practice of meditation and body movement known as the Do. Their primary sphere of speciality in the game is that of the Mind. They work to calm themselves in order to achieve Ascension (one of the possible goals in the game). The Brotherhood believes in purification of both body and mind.

It is important to point out that the Akashic Brotherhood is not just based upon the beliefs of the Chinese or the Japanese but, is in of itself, a hybrid of the Japanese, Chinese, Indian (as in India where there are thousands of religions), and a tad from the Pacific Islands. Some people have been fast to judge based upon the fact that they believe that the Akashic Brotherhood was meant to be from a certain culture.

It may be of some intrest to those that tend to be annoyed by roleplaying games that this game includes a Tradition of Mages known as the Celestial Chorus that worship "the One" and use singing as a main focus for utilizing their will to manipulate reality in order to bring about perfection in the world in "the One's" image.
