NWO query

[kingandy]

On a note entirely unrelated to my previous post, I have been wondering this about NWO: Was there at any point in the system a single offensive^[1] Imaginem spell? It's just that I went through two events as hammad with an Iron Parma vs Imaginem and couldn't for the life of me think of a good reason.

[1] 'Offensive' is a word that is here used to mean cast on another with undesirable results, ie, which one would choose to resist with one's Parma Magica.

From a mechanics point of view, Iron Parma is largely seen as something that you 'have', rather than you 'learned', if that makes sense? Your parens teaches you Parma and finds out that it's particularly good against one thing, rather than teaching you to be good against one thing.

It exposes part of the character, to those who know how to look.

Jarane had Iron Parma: Corpus (which would have been useful in game, if anyone had cast an offensive Corpus spell against him in 5 events, which they didn't.)

But it was more important thematically :-)
