I started playing mage a bit of time ago and immediately made spirit my affinity sphere. I don't regret it one bit, love summoning spirits to my aid and even use mind+spirit in creative ways!
So is it that whatever you create in that form of magic can’t touch the physical world by itself or can it with your help? Example combat this mage creates a knife out of this power would it be able to actually interact with the physical or only attack the spiritual?
If you actually make a knife, either you’ve made pure spiritual energy in the shape of a knife, so it can interact with a spirit and spirit only, or you’ve used it to take spiritual energy and weave it into physical matter, making an ordinary knife. Doing both is more the domain of Changelings and their chimerical creations, but Changeling magic is honestly even more complicated than Mage magic.
it is kinda interesting prospect but long story short "consequences" yes you can create countless recruits with 1-2 second levels spheres(per mage i mean) but this kinda creates inbalance in power and exact kind of imbalance that enemy fraction`s will try to eliminate with firepower and while ascension war is called war for now it is mostly small skirmishes while meeting each other in shady places most times while most important part of said ascension war belongs to hollywood movie creators writters etc cuz they are ones to control how concensus changes which is main objective in this war. The even shorter version ascension war for now is extremall debete with sleepers about what reality is, and if some mage gonna start doing this shit willy nilly it gonna become standard war and nobody except nephandi wants that
