[@ERode] I imagine that since magic is tied to the Aspects and the aspects are almost philosophies of how one approaches magic, that certain personalities are better suited for some aspects. So not all mages of an aspect would have shared personality traits, but I personally feel like the higher on the food chain you look, the more similarities you'd see. It'd be difficult to find a skilled Precedence that was also shy and a pushover, so most of them are likely confident if not arrogant since spells that build off authority are probably stronger in the hands of mages that believe they're an authority figure. Similarly hard to find: Obscurity that forgoes lying and manipulation Manifestation with no aspirations Complexity that isn't perceptive And Dynamicism that's scared of change. So I think there'll be some "same hat!" energy between those with like-crests if nothing else.
