| − | Guardians of the Veil Rote: Wits + Investigation + Spirit
| |
| − | | |
| − | Knowledge of the Ban of a Spirit which violates the Veil is a prime tool, whether for negotiation, sale to other Spirits or direct action. By focussing upon the modern stereotype of the all-knowing government agent, the Guardian can spot the nature of a spirit with just a glance.

| − | Guardians of the Veil Rote: Manipulation + Investigation + Death
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last thing the victim of a murder saw can often be vital when trying to find out who the killer was. By calling upon imagery developed in the Greek Labyrinth, the mage may release from Charon the final things the eyes of the victim saw.

| |
| − | Guardians of the Veil Rote: Wits + Stealth + Spirit
| |
| − | | |
| − | By calling upon ancient deals made with the Realms Invisible, a mage can be shielded from both the invisible and the seen. The conditions of these deals need only be honoured, and the reality will comply

| − | Purge the Daemon (Harm Spirit, Spirit 3, M:tA p249)
| |
| − | Banisher Rote: Presence + Occult + Spirit
| |
| − | | |
| − | A rote taken from a Banisher captured in the 14th century, in what is now Germany, it has been adopted by the Guardians, as it has proven exceedingly effective at dealing with spiritual entities who refuse to listen to the Guardians.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Mage wears a ring with the double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire on it: + 1 Potency
| |

| − | Guardians of the Veil Rote: Wits + Investigation + Time
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Communication, for it to truly occur, requires the ability to touch the other party; or at least this is a widely held belief by Thryus among many orders. This rote has the ability to add Death 2 to the casting, to enable the caster to touch and interact with ghosts and non-living Twilight objects, as with Touch of the Grave (p138, M:tA). This is an expression of the Guardian philosophy that the amount of Vulgar magic should be kept to a minimum, and only having to cast one spell is an advantage.

| − | | |
| − | The mage wears a pair of white gloves while this spell is active; the right with the Chinese symbol for Life on it, the left with the symbol for Death - +1 Duration Factor
