[[Hermetic Magic|Hermetic magic]] is subject to various limits that even the most powerful and most sophisticated [[Spell|spell]] can not overcome. = Limit of the Divine This limit states that [[Hermetic Magic|hermetic magic]] can never override the power of the [[Divine]]. = Limit of Essential Nature This limit states that all things have an [[Essential Nature|essential nature]] that can not be changed by [[Hermetic Magic|hermetic magic]]. = Lesser Limits There are lesser limits that, unlike the two fundamental limits above, may be overridden by powerful or sophisticated [[Hermetic Magic|hermetic magic]] � at least temporarily, or to a lesser, incomplete degree. * The Limit of Aging * The Limit of Arcane Connections * The Limit of Creation * The Limit of Energy * The Limit of the [[Infernal]] * The Limit of the Lunar Sphere * The Limit of the Soul * The Limit of Time * The Limit of True Feeling * The Limit of [[Vis]] * The Limit of [[Warping]] = Reference * [[ArM5]], page 79

There are other things magic is not generally capable of doing, or doing well: * The Limit of Experience: [[HoHS]] 68 states that "...the creation [including trasnfer] of Abilities is currently beyond the limit of Hermetic understanding". * The Limit of Universal Magic Resistance: As explained by the Line Editor on several occasionas, no tradition of magic should be able to grant universal [[Magic Resitance]]. Every tradition breaks a Limit of Magic in some way, and Hermetic Magic breaks it by allowing Magic Resistance against ''anything'' in the form of the [[Parma Magica]], [[Aegis of the Hearth]], and so on. Other Magical traditions should provide partial Magic Resistance at best. Note that non-Magical traditions, such as Divine or Infernal ones, may offer universal magic resistance. = Reference * [[ArMs, But... T
