[UA] Mundanity

[Will]

Hi,

I'd like to know if someone already worked on "Mundanity".

I can see basically an archetype and/or a magick school.

The archetype would be something along the lines of "the average man", "the
non-descript guy". A powerful symbol (at least in the US) would be the name
"John Doe" (spelling?), and you can be sure the guy would always side with
the (silent) majority (he _is_ the silent majority), and also have a good
bunch of statistics to prove his normality.

The magick school would try to (paradoxically) make magick disappear from
ths world, and try to smooth out "special" traits. For example, magickal
effects could include the capacity to cancel magick ("Uh, something's very
worng around here"), to "normalize" someone (what are you going to do when
your favourite skill drops down to a more "normal" value, say, 40%?) and to
invoke limited luck/bad luck ("hey, these things _can_ happen").

Any thoughts?

Will
