Ferrinus posted:*Beast, Demon, Fae, and Shade are summoned in series of further catastrophes, they and Angel manifest in times square to play a game of poker* i never really thought about how each supernal realm has its own characteristic entity isn't there some theory that the abyss has five twisted versions of the supernal realms with five anti-watchtowers

there is, although what precisely an "abyssal watchtower" is and whether anyone actually awakens at one (and how precisely someone awakened by the abyss could do magic when the abyss is the negation of magic) are rarely specified in a coherent manner by theorists it's the sort of thing that large swathes of the mage community don't bother to think about but you just know mystagogues and maybe thearchs have really venomous debates over

I would think abyssal mages would behave in a way where rather than shaping reality using their will they would try to pull over abyssal manifestations using that will. Mechanically it'd be the same thing (have paradox be reality resisting incursions) but thematically it's all ooga booga New Physics and poo poo
