Casting Your Alias
A Shadow Name is more than a title—it's a statement. Reflect on these questions:
- What is the core Arcana (e.g., Life, Mind, Forces) of the Mage?
- Does the name sound scientific, mystical, or purely philosophical?
- Should it include Roman numerals or a unique sigil for flair?
- Does the name hint at their current quest or ultimate destiny?
- Will the name be grandiose, subtle, or strikingly cryptic?
