Editing Mage: The Ascension (section)

====[[Dreamspeakers]]====
The Dreamspeakers represent old-tyme tribal magic from indigenous peoples throughout the world. Which part of the world? ''All of it.'' Wait, so like, all the different Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans get lumped together because they're all "primitive?" [[/pol/|That's racist as ''shit''!]] ''Yes. Yes, it is. Welcome to early White Wolf, you poor sap. We've got support groups.'' 

To play devil's advocate for a moment, an alternate view of this is that the various ethnic mages realized that they were too few and scattered to have any real power unless they worked together. No one is going to pay attention to the two remaining shamans of a tradition most people can't even pronounce, but a hundred of them from a variety of sources bound into a coherent group with unfamiliar powers and an ax to grind is a different story. Later versions made this explicitly canonical, with the Dreamspeakers themselves aware and resentful of the fact that the other Eurasian-dominated factions clumped a bunch of minor ethnic crafts together to make a coherent tradition for condescending political purposes. 

Their mastery is the sphere of Spirit, which mostly focuses on summoning and binding magic. Every sphere has its powerful, broken-ass exploits, and for Dreamspeakers, this means making like a [[D&D]] mage and abusing the fuck out of your ability to conjure things with their own powers to do whatever you like whenever you like it.
