Third Session

It is time to be proactive, visit the troops and secure a beach-head.

Lesser talents and greater talents being sorted up for what is to come. And for some reason someone else than Harcourt will be sent to talk to the French-Woman in the hospital.

A pre-empatory strike will let the Magi of britain go into France and secure vis-reserves hoarded there before the Germans can aquire them. Problem is the owner who is very much secure in his view that the line will hold and there is no need for him to give his reserves up. Not now that he is so close to a breakthrough that will change magic forever. Perhaps even break through the barriers of old magic.

André is a nightmare to deal with, thin-skinned and bitter as well as arrogant he represents the worst of the old Hermetic Order who he considers himself the last true Heir to. He has several really nasty spells at his disposal including a level 30 PeVi spell that puts another maguses magical gift to sleep for a full 24 hours. Worse if given time and Vis he has spells to rip the gift away from them permanently.

And now he is close to breeching the last froentier of magic as he sees it... the limit of permanence. 25 points of heavy fatigue replaces thus the cost of 1 vis in the work of magical items.

Compare to 1940 raid on Mers El Kebir where brittish ships ended up sinking a whole damn lot of the French fleet to deny them to the enemy.
