That gets a little more difficult Senko, as they never give us an accurate measurement of what a talentless Awakened can do (or any clue as to how many people are like them). Not a lot of functional full mages that only 4,200 for the whole of Australia and less than 60 thousand worldwide given our current population, a sellers market I guess. Same with my mages to mystic adepts actually it was 8:5 something so I went with 5 to 1. ![]() I'm also a little disturbed my 9 to 1 value matches up to street grimoire as I picked it because it was 9am when I made the post. I find your comments on adepts vs mages interesting as I'd always gotten the impression those two where roughly equal in numbers even if they moved in different fields (sports as opposed to corporate jobs) in a town of 120 thousand there are 1,200 magically awakened of which 900 are x, of those 900 234 are actually usable because of X, Y and z circumstances. That is for this I don't really care if they're insane burnt out, too young, not interested just what percentage of a population of awakened individuals is what then from that your other values can be applied e.g. Nice and detailed thank you although I'm looking more into potential I guess as you'd put it. So I just hand-wave that they pop up occasionally in the Full Magician or Adept pool once in a while. I generally figure they're much rarer, and they'd mess up my pretty, even numbers. Now, I don't give a slot for Mystic Adepts. This is where we break it down into the kinds. 7,500 Crazies, Incompetents, Untapped Talents, Burn-Outs. The functional fraction we're using is going to be 25%. Now, 1% of 1,000,000 is the 'Awakened' Metahuman population. So, the numbers I and a few others use, out of one million: Sure, there's 9 Aspected Magicians to every Magician, but how many Adepts to the spell-slingers and summoners? I pulled 20% out of my ass, mostly because nothing suggests they're more common than magicians, but not extremely rare either. The other 'problem' is they never give a clear proportion of adepts to magicians. This is anywhere from the Magic 1, newly Awakened street-punk who can light cigarettes with the snap of his fingers to Harlequin-level, dozens-of-initiations super-magicians. they have an appreciable Magic Rating and skill. So, how big is this fraction of functional Awakened compared to the dross? Most people tend to make it less than 50%, because why call it a fraction when it's a majority? After some discussion, I (and a few others) went with a flat 25% of the Awakened population is functional i.e. These factors can make them the equivalent to a magical non-entity. This is also where Toxics, Bug Shamans and Blood Mages fall. Magic does weird things to your head, and a lot of people who try to learn it can get all sorts of messed up. ![]() Maybe they tried and couldn't cut it, maybe they just never bothered.ĭ. There aren't really any by-the-book mechanical means to represent this at the moment. A number of the Awakened aren't really mana-slingers, they're just sensitive to the presence of magic or things going on. Burned out, whether it be from drugs, 'ware, Essence drain or something else.Ĭ. Unaware of their Awakened status the talent needs to be found and nurtured, and they got missed.ī. The main issue is where the books explain that only a 'fraction' of the 1% are actually functional. Your example of 9 Aspected Magicians for every normal Magician is actually accurate as of. ![]() There's some clear points (a general 1% of the world population is Awakened, with variable counts in a number of regions to either direction (Aztechnology/Aztlan has an average of 2% Awakened, for example). Well, the general consensus in the past has been.
