It is known that each mage understands magic in his own way. Someone uses occult traditions, someone bases their Paradigm on concepts from television and fiction books, someone does not recognize superpowers at all, but knows the blueprint of a teleportation device. So, I have a question: is magic one structure that everyone understands differently? Or does every magician unknowingly add his own mod to the reality program code?

For example, if one mage asks the spirit of fire to do magic for him, and the other just believes that he is a mutant from the X—Men and also uses the power of fire (without intermediaries), is one of them right? Did the first magician create the spirit himself, believing in its existence?

I think WoD can be played by people of different opinions and religions. The characters may be atheists, believers without clear ideas about their religion and without its practice, or even true believers. How do they perceive the supernatural underside of the world? Are they afraid, studying it, or accepting it?

Tell me stories about your Christian/Muslim/Jewish game characters. Who were they (ordinary people, vampires, mages, and so on) and how did they feel about the world after personally encountering the paranormal? Did they have a restructuring of their worldview? For example, the renunciation of faith, or vice versa, has their faith become stronger?

I'm interested in reading about how different people think about faith in the context of WoD? I have not developed a system for calculating detailed statistics, so I will limit myself to the question inside this message.

If you're interested, I chose these three religions because they have a negative attitude towards the occult. Therefore, the characters will not be able to simply say that they had previously engaged in the occult for money, and now they have found a more effective way to become magicians. Exploring the world of darkness leads to the question: is my faith real and what does it mean to the world?
