Magical Ideation
(mild)
Symptoms
The character finds patterns all around him, the signs of some greater plan or intelligence guiding his steps. Whether through song lyrics, advertisements in magazines, lines in films, the state of the weather, the character is sure that these environmental flashes are messages of some sort meant for him. At least once a scene, the player must roll Resolve + Composure. If that roll fails, the character has to perform some action that reflects his obsession with patterns. Perhaps the character starts to explain to his companions the coincidental arrangement of stations on the London Underground, or stops to take an omen from the movement of birds in the sky. Maybe music is playing in the background, and the character pauses and listens to the secret message hidden in the song. Perhaps the character whispers a nursery rhyme, or has to stop and examine the arrangement of cutlery on a dinner table, reading them as if the arrangement of knives and forks and spoons has some higher significance, and some sort of message within it.
