General Discussion

You may assume the default difficulty is to beat a 6, so any roll of 7 and above counts as one success.

When you roll the dice, you want to equal or exceed the difficulty number. If that number’s 7, you want to score a 7, 8, 9, or 10 on each die.

Rolling a 1 cancels one success. If you roll more 1s than successes, you botch.

Game-wise, every 1 you roll takes away one success from your roll. Think of this as "the rule of one." If your 1s cancel out your successes, you fail; roll three successes, roll three 1s, and you’re left right where you were before.

Assuming that you rolled even one success before the 1s cancel out all your successes, then your character simply fails.

But if you don’t roll any successes and you roll a 1, then you botch.

Rolling 10 gives one success (Not two, I had to remind myself of this one vs other WoD games).

A roll of 10 is always a success unless there was no way you could have performed that task to begin with

On rolls that determine the success of an activity related to that Trait specialty, the player counts every 10 rolled as two successes, not just one.

The pressure was building. Too many people, too much sound. Wren pulled her headphones up over her ears - the same thing she'd done a hundred times before to manage the overwhelm.

But this time, in the silence the noise-cancellation created, something shifted. The hum didn't fade - it clarified. Sharpened. Like tuning a radio and suddenly catching the signal. Threads of resonance she'd been sensing all summer suddenly became audible, patterns woven through the old building that she couldn't name but could no longer ignore.

The second is, while I haven't prompted everyone on this yet, don't forget to describe your Focus as well when doing magick.

I will when Myra starts doing deliberate magic

Absolutely runekyndig and eldarin, am sure you will. Just hinting at some early role-playing angles, as mages newly employing magic, even one's Focus is something they could be experimenting with, whether intentionally or inadvertently, after which it becomes a habit.
