Mystical effects can be momentary, such as a spell being cast, or medium-term, such as a strong [[Aura|aura]] through which a character travels. Effects like these are always specific to one of the [[Realms of Power]]. An entity that originates from, or is in complete accordance with a specific [[Realm]], is usually considered immune to Warping from that [[Realm]]: a [[Faerie|faerie]] creature would not be considered to be subject to Warping due to living in a strong [[Faerie]] [[Aura|aura]].

[[Warping Points]] act as �experience points� for the [[Warping Score]] of a character, that is, it takes 5 [[Warping Points]] to increase a [[Warping Score]] from 0 to 1, and another 10 to increase it to 2.

As the [[Warping Score]] of a character increases, he accumulates more and more typical traits of the primary source of the mystical effects he has been exposed to. Effects of Warping are expressed via [[Virtue|Virtues]] and [[Flaw|Flaws]]. = Mystic Traditions Various mystic traditions partly align their mortal members with one or more of the Realms. Hermetic magi, for example, are aligned with the [[Magic]] realm, and members of [[House Merinita]] are further aligned with the [[Faerie Realm]]. Amongst the benefits of this alignment is the fact that such characters don't suffer Warping from residing in a high [[aura]] associated with that Realm. Furthermore, they develop a particular response to Warping that is unique to their tradition and the Realm. Instead of suffering the normal effects of Warping, they suffer tradition's effects. Hermetic magi suffer Wizard's [[Twilight]], diabolists suffer [[Vituperation]], and so on. = References * Warping, [[Warping Points]], [[Warping Score]]: [[ArM5]], p. 88, 167. * Effects of Warping: [[ArM5]], p. 168. = See also * [[Limits|The Limit of Warping]]: [[ArM5]], p. 80.
