Ok, please stick with me for this.  If a someone who wasn't a scion, changeling, had wizard's constitution, or marked by power; picked up sponsored magic somehow, would it be a possible for changes to occur to their body because of the alien energies flowing through them?  The character in question has been gifted with Summer Magic but is a Knight of the Cross.  People who become Fae Knights have to take Marked by Power which I could see as having a secondary trapping of filtering the energies associated with the sponsor so that they don't completely screw up the mortal vessel.  If someone didn't have that to refine the energies or a better than human constitution to take care of the damages, could they begin to change physically in a way that would befit the sponsor?  Seelie/Unseelie would become slightly fae like in appearance, and depending upon whether they took any powers could possibly be mistaken for a changeling.  Locations could cause the person to look more in line with the "feel" of the location (volcanos could appear to have embers in their eyes, skin could become ashen, etc.), Hellfire wielders might begin to look demonic, and Soulfire users could appear to be angelic. 

What are your thoughts on this?  Mechanically I could see this as a way to justify buying creature powers and possibly at a very advanced stage inhuman-supernatural stats.  Fluff-wise, it could be a very interesting story to see this character change the more they use their power, and further separating them from humanity (actually, you could buy off debt with mutations-non power mutations that is, you don't get anything for going into debt).

So, some of the people in my group and I have hit a brick wall with Invoking and Compelling Aspects for effect.  Mainly we don't know what exactly is possible to do.  I know that you basically make a declaration on the person or scene but there were very few examples of this listed in the book.  So what effects have you all gotten from aspects?

So, this could just be me being incredibly obtuse but I really don't understand what the agenda of the Summer/Winter Court is.  As near I can guess Summer tries to promote life, warmth, and positiveness.  Winter tries to promote death, cold, and negativeness.  This doesn't really make much sense though.  At least according to the books, Summer doesn't really seem to care about killing people anymore than Winter does, none of them are really good nor are they evil.  The only thing that we really seem to know is that they are opposing forces and that their agendas are to of course oppose the other so as to form an equilibrium between the two of them.  This thought runs into problems though because they aren't static forces...if they were in perfect opposition there would be stasis and neither side would be able to do anything.  I know, I know the seasons change so the power of the courts is always in flux and that keeps them from being in perfect opposition.  Still...seems almost like the only agenda that they have is to oppose the other one.  What am I missing?

I was thinking that I think that it would be interesting to play a character that was the Scion of a Angel, has anyone done this already and if so how did you do it (powers and aspects)?

Has anyone (GM or Player) played with this power?  How did it go?  What sorts of plot hooks did they facilitate for you?  I ask because I have a character that has it, but as of yet my GM isn't compelling them at all...nor is he giving me any predictions, and so far hasn't allowed me to make any predictions of my own to put in the game.  I am looking for ways that I can try to bring it up so that it won't just be a wasted aspect.

I am really enjoying the concepts of Seelie magic the more that I read them, but I am kind of at a loss of what are good evocations to use with them.  Summer could of course use a fire blast, an evocation healing effect (would this remove current stress on the person as well as starting them on the road to recovery?), possibly an evocation superboost to physical atts?  It is an aspect of Biomancy.  What about shields, I was thinking that a fun shield would be to rapidly grow a wall of plants, probably vines, to intercept the attack.  One could also employ a fire shield.  After that I am at a loss though.  So what fun things have you seen done or have you thought of doing with Summer Magic?

Just like the topic said.  Is there a preexisting mechanic or has anyone houseruled one?  I was wanting to know about fae and human contracts primarily.
