Rating: - the Essential Magical supplement for Mage
Let me say that this is invariably the most necessary and useful supplement published for Mage the Awakening. If it is the only book you get beyond the main rule book it will be sufficient. This book provides invaluable information on creating your own spells (chapter 1). An indepth explanation and treatise on the 13 magical practices of Mage (chapter 1), how to describe magic and casting spells in role playing terms (chap. 2), interacting with other supernaturals in the world of darkness (chap 3), ...

Rating:  - Required reading for Mage players and STs alike
nWoD Mage excels at clarifying rules at the expense of the in depth story of the old game. I won't say that this book completely brings awakenings flavor on par with the old game, but its a step in the right direction.
Other books in the series so far have established the game mechanics, and the Mages themselves, but don't really go into the nity gritty of what magic itself is, how it feels, what it does, etc. This book is essentially filled with options and sugestions on how to make magic ... Read More

Chapter one is The Way of Fire - Making Magic. Here players will learn the progression ... Read More
Rating: - Some great clarification!
I find Mage The Awakening very complex and sometimes overly so. I like this particular book because it helps clarify some game mechanics and role-playing flavor. It helps codify power levels and add flavor to the way Willworkers can cast magic. It also has a few pages on mage magic and how it interacts with other WoD creatures like werewolves and vampires. As someone who runs a game with both Mages and Vampires, I could read a lot more about that, but it's still a good start.
