Control Probability - Now that the threads of Fate have been identified, the dominos of Fortune may be pushed. Disciples learn control over probability by studying where it concentrates. Phenomena as diverse as card shuffling, dice rolling, market fluctuations, traffic jams, lost mail and roulette wheels teach the mage to identify order in chaos, chaos in order and the paths of probability.

Affect Predictable Patterns - Inanimate objects and tangible forces, as Patterns of order, are most subject to the forces of Entropy. Machines are especially susceptible to this phenomenon. Clocks wind down, engines break, warranties expire and all things eventually fray and decay.

Affect Life - The Effects of Entropy, order and probability are far more complex when dealing with living organisms, due to living beings complex and self-corrective nature. If a robot overtaxes itself and stresses its workings, it runs down until someone repairs it. A man who overtaxes himself will heal given time and care, and may even grow stronger.

Affect Thought - Masters of entropy expand their control over reality by studying the ways in which ideas change over time.
