Paradigm Deep Dive: Hypereconomics and Primal Utility with Victor Kinzer

People say it’s “just money” but money can turn into seemingly anything but how about turning into the very stuff of magick?

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)
