 Awakenings occur as the mage grows in expertise.  The first is at Competence, followed by another at expertise, and two at mastery.  Awakenings are the stirring of the Spark, the growth of the tiny metaphysical creature within the soul of the mage.  As it grows, the Spark changes the Mage to be a more suitable host.  Most of these changes are mystifying and hardly adaptive, curious magical anomalies that haunt a mage forever.  Others turn out to be unexpected boons, but it is rare that a mutation turns out to be completely beneficial.  When reaching a new tier of expertise, consider how you have been utilizing your magic.  The Spark’s personality will develop out of that and there tends to be changes made to the character physically or mentally aligned with how that magic has been used.  An example for necromancy might be having skin the color of dead flesh that is more resistant to conventional damage or the ability to go much longer without food or water, but attracting insects. An Aberration Awakening might be razor sharp teeth and the inability to deviate from an all meat diet, or even cannibalism. These changes are always unique to the player as no magic or transformation is quite the same. These Awakenings will follow a mage through any disguise or shape they take. Sometimes Awakenings will build off each other, but mostly they will simply be flexed aspects of use.
-<b>Note:</b> One cannot progress to the next level of magic until they have the appropriate Awakenings for that level.  To have a Revelation approved, please reach out to the [https://www.standingtrials.com/viewforum.php?f=362 | Prophet Support Forum] to discuss it.  I encourage each player who wants to begin in magic to draft out ideas for mutations/awakenings at the beginning and send them in for approval.  These must be added to your character sheet and played out in full.

 <b>Note:</b> As Player Characters , you will not be destroyed nor turned into an NPC by becoming Revealed in a discipline. However, you are expected to play this transformation honestly.  Consider your Awakenings.  What do they say about the personality of this Spark?  What are you now that you have abandoned your humanity entirely?  No Revealed mage is simply themselves with a bunch of new powers and as Revelation is OPTIONAL, it is assumed that when the player decided to become Revealed, they are accepting what that means.  We expect to see a significant and lasting change in how you play your character forward.
 It is possible to remove the Spark before one Reveals.  Once caught in a Revelation, there is no known power that can reverse it.  Beforehand, mutations and even Sparks can be removed by the intervention of an Immortal, or other story conceits as decided by the Prophets.  Work with your storytellers to find a plot appropriate to the removal of such a powerful divine parasite.

 ==Revelations==
-Rather than Grandmastered, a mage is Revealed.  Only one Revelation can occur per mage as only one Spark can fully take over the body.  Each Discipline has its own special Revelation that comes with new heights of magic but a departure from the being the mage once was.  Debate rages on what the nature of Revelation is.  Some suggest it is the Spark finally merging with a host and fully expressing its nature.  Conjecture also suggests Revelations are when the parasite finally overpowers the mage, kills them, and subsumes their identity.  What can be certain is that a mage who Reveals cannot return to what they were, nor are they their chosen race any longer.  When Revealed, a mage loses access to any special powers or abilities afforded to their race.  While they may still resemble who they were, they most certainly are not themselves.  Likewise, a Revealed mage can no longer advance in mastery of any other magic, nor be initiated.  While they can grow their skill to the top of the tier they currently have, no other Spark can grow inside the mage again, nor can the ones within continue to grow.  The Revealed Spark innately cuts off the ability of the lesser sparks to continue growing.  This is assumed by scholars to be a natural defense to keep from being devoured by another powerful Spark.
+Rather than Grandmastered, a mage is Revealed.  Mages are capable of revealing a maximum of four times.  However, be warned that even a single revelation causes earth shattering changes to the mage themselves.  Each revelation following the first comes with startling changes that push the mage further and further away from the mortal that they once were.

-Despite the fact all Sparks move towards Revelations, only a rare few ever transform.  Some mages go their entire lives at the height of mastery without ever feeling the Spark push for that final level of growth.  Revealed mages are considered quite rare in Idalos history and only a few have every been recorded.  While lore of their existence does linger, most who speak of them are not regarded with trust or belief.  One of the most famous examples of a [[:Category: Revealed Mage | Revealed Mage]], [[Ellasin]] the [[:Category: Lich | Lich]], is abhorred and feared throughout the lands of Idalos for her designs and ambitions.

 It is said, however, that some Revelations do not go as typically observed.  These Revelations, termed Atavistic Revelations reveal the nature of the Spark beyond the humanity it was housed within.  While Revelations for each discipline are typically standard, using a human shape as the base, a player may instead opt to craft an inhuman form that fits with the themes of the Revelation on the lore page.  In these cases, the Spark was powerful enough to impose its will on the reshaped body and repurpose it closer to its strange whims and alien intelligence.  While this may come with some additional abilities (to be discussed with a Prophet) it also completely eliminates the ability to pass as human in ones Revealed glory.  Although the Revealed often find ways to obscure their nature, this often limits their power severely and is not quickly dismissed.  In narrative terms, you may creatively shift the Revelation you are given…but to maintain balance it will not be easy to simply disguise oneself as human.  While all Revealed can suppress their nature for short times, to do so is to limit their power severely, closing their ether reserves to the level of a low end master.  In addition, shifting between forms or maintain a form in the case of the [[:Category: Protean | Protean]] (Becoming) is not instant.  Pushing ones nature into dormancy forces one to reawaken it when necessary which is a slow and vulnerable process.
