===Depersonalization (Mild)===

When this derangement is activated by stress or emotional trauma, the mage feels as though she is an automaton in her own body. She can think, speak, and act freely, but has no real sense of connection to herself; effectively, she is an observer to a life not quite her own. Almost invariably, the willworker gives no sense to others that anything is amiss, as she is perfectly capable of even elaborate interpersonal interaction. Her withdrawal is not from society, but instead from her own consciousness.

While suffering from a bout of Depersonalization, the mage may not spend Willpower and suffers a two dice penalty to all Resolve + Composure rolls, as she cannot summon up the strength of spirit necessary to fight for a person with whom she no longer truly identifies. When acting as a Bedlam derangement, Depersonalization also makes a willworker especially susceptible to Life Arcanum spells that target her body, causing her to suffer a -1 to any contested rolls against such, as her sense of disconnection weakens the bond between spirit and flesh.
