People say it’s “just money” but money can turn into seemingly anything but how about turning into the very stuff of magick? Hypereconomics is a paradigm where practitioners manipulate reality and desire itself with tools no mystick would recognize. In addition, they also have access to the Primal Utility Sphere, pulling quintessence out of businesses and practicing some of the most subtle magick of any mages. This toolbox isn’t just for Technocrats and Victor Kinzer, Mage writer, and host of the always excellent Walking Away from Arcadia podcast, tells you how to use it.

Show Notes

• Mage 20 Core – Has all the alternative Spheres
• Convention Book: Syndicate – The book that best explains hypereconomics (listen to our Tomes of Magick: Syndicate episode)
• Swashbucklers Handbook – Ars Concupidae, the precursor to hypereconomics
• Book of Secrets – Contains guidelines for Union discipline
• Mage Made Easy – Satyros’ guide to getting people started in Mage
• Other!
  • Collective Action Problems – Class of problems where acting is in everyone’s best interest
  • The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World – Book on economics in non-monetary situations
  • Pi – A film that interrogates reality
