Mastigos

The Mastigos are a fictional path of warlocks, occultists and black magicians in Mage: the Awakening RPG.

The Mastigos are Warlocks on the Path of Scourging. They are associated with the Watchtower of the Iron Gauntlet in the Realm of Pandemonium, Kingdom of Nightmares and Abode of Demons. Pandemonium is a hellish realm where sins are scourged from the soul through humiliation and submission. Ones darkest fears are exposed to strangers here, and space twists on itself so that one can run for miles without escape or fall without ever hitting the ground.

The Mastigos are adept at the Arcana of Mind and Space, making them masters at mind control, telepathy, scrying, astral projection, illusions, cursing and teleportation. Like true demons the Mastigos have difficulty breaking ritual incantations and find it hard to learn the Arcana of Matter. Their Tarot card is the The Devil, representing strength of will unfettered by moral concerns.
