What happens to embraced Magicians?
Magicians, Sorcerers and Hedge Wizards are mortals who practice Path & Ritual magic, which is sometimes called hedge magic. These magic users are different from those which practice Sphere Magic (a.k.a. True Magick). When a Magician is Embraced she loses access to all her hedge magic. This process may take weeks or happen immediately. However, because the Magician did have hedge magic, she has a leg up on other Fledglings. In this rare case, the experience points originally spent acquiring occult knowledge and skills in using Path & ritual magic, can be recycled. WOD:Sorcerer, (original edition, pg.54), provides a system of converting Dots in Hedge Magic back into experience points. However, this is for the sole purpose of purchasing Thaumaturgy Paths or Disciplines similar to the magician’s old powers.
