Every magician needs a place in which to work. This background grants you a secret workshop of some size, stocked with the necessary tools and materials for whatever your practice might require. Hidden from mortal view, this sanctuary exists in the mortal world, often times (but not always) attached to your home. Within your Sanctuary, you effectively have an Arcane rating which will help keep the neighbors from wondering about the sounds, etc. Assume that any workings that don't involve major destruction are 'quieted' by the wards around your Sanctuary. Those wards keep trespassers at bay too, unwelcome visitors must make a Willpower roll (diff = Sanctuary rating + 3) to approach. The place is still subject to the laws of psychics, fires, explosions, floods, etc.
System
1: A small area, roughly basement-sized, stocked with a few essential items. Arcane rating: 1.
2: A decent space, the size of a large backyard, it contains a number of useful tools and ingredients kept in easy reach. Arcane rating: 1.
3: A spacious area, the size of a small house; it's stocked with food, a good selection of tools and materials. Arcane rating: 2.
4: You're the envy of your associates; a mansion-sized space contains enough esoteric materials, occult works and ritual spaces to host a small, active coven. Arcane rating: 2.
5: A tower, small castle or large manor house holds your trove - anything short of the virtually impossible is within reach. You'll still have to leave the nest to acquire really esoteric materials, but almost anything else is right where you need it. Arcane rating: 3.
