History
When White Wolf returned to historical settings in 2002, they relaunched Dark Ages: Vampire as a core rulebook; supplements were added for other supernatural groups, each dependent upon Dark Ages: Vampire to play. Four other Classic World of Darkness settings were published as Dark Ages spin-offs, including Dark Ages: Mage (2002).
Description
This book acts as both a precursor to Mage: The Ascension. It is a wildly different system from the modern counterpart, as Paradox has not quite taken hold. Because the consensus of reality is less powerful, magic itself is more bold. Rather than magic commonly being explained away by coincidence, it is often obviously the working of some powerful being.
