And see.. other then an ultra-extreme hardcore sect of the Mage:the Ascencion fan base, Mage: the Awakening is seen as a tremendous step forward in the execution of that kind of magic in the White Wolf Universe.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion of course, but I frankly feel that Ascencion catered to a rather pretensious fan base, and reveled in it's complexity and eliteism. It was far to easy for Ascencion to be abused like a red headed step child. Awakening is more accessable to players without degrees in metaphysics.

While I think a White Wolf game could be used to RP the THEMES of the Dresden-verse (and I'm copy writing that if I'm the first to use it) the systems aren't compatible with the flair of the setting.
