ISLAM (UPDATED)
伊斯兰(更新)描述(STREET GRIMORE P46)从最初一个小小的边缘团体,发展为如今伊斯兰世界内部一场庞大的运动。伊斯兰复兴运动(Islamic Renaissance Movement),以及更广阔的全球化和苏菲主义长久以来忍受着折磨的领袖们,三者一道为觉醒穆斯林破开了门,让他们能够以更开阔的视野使用魔法。合规古兰经魔法(Licit Qur’anic Magic)和炼金术在易卜拉欣·卡迈勒成为阿拉伯哈里发帝国的哈里发之后变得更加流行。哈里发鼓励正在蓬勃发展的伊斯兰改革,而约瑟夫·沙姆斯丁,哈里发的同年伙伴和精神导师,对此有重大影响。然而不是哈里发帝国内部所有人都欢迎这一改变,因此伊斯兰法师使用自己的能力时最好还是小心谨慎。
伊斯兰炼金术师大部分伊斯兰魔法分支里的炼金术师都不把自己看作法师。相反,他们认为炼金术只是科学的另一种形式。实验、公式、细致的笔记——这些都对伊斯兰炼金术师十分重要。他们要么认为法力只是另一种有待破解的元素,要么完全拒绝承认法力。伊斯兰炼金术是禁止魔法的伊斯兰世界里的例外。几乎所有伊斯兰派别都接受炼金术师加入,原因是伊斯兰丰富的炼金术历史可以上溯至中世纪。
合规古兰经魔法伊斯兰魔法的另一个分支也一直存在,但直到哈里发帝国最近的变革为止,他们一直不是主流。多亏了约瑟夫·沙姆斯丁的教导,伊斯兰神秘主义正在不断上升。合规古兰经魔法与一般伊斯兰魔法不同之处在于他们重视被允许(合规)与不被允许(不合规)之间泾渭分明的界限。对许多合规古兰经魔法的人来说,判断魔法是否被允许的唯一确定准则就是古兰经。他们的逻辑是,在伊斯兰,古兰经是安拉赐予的,因此一定是被允许的。因此任何由古兰经或古兰经的内容延伸出“魔法”或异能一定是被允许的。古兰经经文的护身符在LQM魔法使用者当中尤其普遍,它能保证施法处于控制之下,并让施法者心情平和。
关联精魂导师伊斯兰法师不选择精魂导师,原因是他们对所有精魂怀有深深的不信任,同时也是为了避免被认为是偶像崇拜。唯一的例外是神圣经文。
理念当然,试图总结上亿人的理念是个错误。但多数伊斯兰法师看起来至少都相当坚信“五支柱”(Five Pillars )。多数,不是全部。用“除了上帝(安拉)再无真神,穆罕穆德是信使”这句话来表明信仰对所有伊斯兰法师来说都十分寻常。伊斯兰法师还必须进行每天五次的祈祷,将2.5%收入用于慈善,庆祝斋月,还有去麦加朝圣。但遵守的严格程度则每个法师都不同。
巫术伊斯兰法师如常使施法。一条通用的准则是,伊斯兰法师不鼓励鲁莽施法或者释放等级过高的法术,原因是可能失去控制。同时仪式施法也不被鼓励。
咒术所有伊斯兰分支的法师都不赞成使用召唤。驱散是被允许的,但同样被认为是危险行为。但也有例外,一些高等级的伊斯兰启蒙法师能够召唤和束缚巨灵(djinn),但若没有得到宗教权威的许可,这也是被禁止的。天使,或者说叫守护精魂会被召唤来帮助呼唤他们的伊斯兰法师,但这种行为并没有得到广泛认可。
附魔伊斯兰法师能够如常使用附魔技能组的技能
伊斯兰法师规则伊斯兰炼金术师• 不能施法或仪式施法,但能如常使用法术反制
• 伊斯兰炼金术师启蒙时,必须按照顺序选择如下4种超魔:固定、活化、Advanced Alchemy、Anchoring
• 对每个启蒙等级,炼金术师使用附魔技能组时的检定能够重骰一枚骰子
• 不能使用咒术技能组,除非有5或更高等级的启蒙。
合规古兰经法师• 必须一直使用基于或包含古兰经经文的信物(fetish,SG)(护身符、卷轴、经文)施法
• 第一次启蒙时必须选择专注超魔
• 第二次启蒙时必须选择structured spellcasting超魔
• 不能召唤,除非法师启蒙等级有7或更高,或者得到了宗教权威的许可。

DJINN
In the Islamic tradition, spirits are called djinn. These
creatures are not angels in a religious sense, but other creatures that were created. To most westerners
and Aetherpedia, there is only one type of spirit,
which is djinn (or genie), but in truth there are actually fve types of djinn, acting as spirit tribes similar
to the fae of Europe. The fve tribes of djinn are Marid, Ifrit, Shaitan, Jinn, and Jann. These djinn come
from a metaplane they call Ginnistan. Ginnistan is
hot and arid. A great glass city, Schadou Kiam, rests
between two vast deserts. Schadou Kiam is the seat
of power where all the tribes meet. It is sometimes
called the invisible city, as the shimmering heat and
transparent towers brings the illusion of invisibility.
To the left is Badiat-Goldare, a desert of black volcanic sand and sulfur odors. It is the desert of monsters,
where dark and demonic creatures, along with some
banished spirits, survive. To the right is Badiat-Tealgim, a desert of white silicon sand that sings when
the wind blows. It is the desert of Peris, where the
more benevolent spirits dwell. It wasn’t always like
this. Many lifetimes ago, a great Jinn prophet had a
vision of a vast crescent rift and war that would engulf all of his people. He saw that the djinn would all
perish if they did not choose a side. When the fve
tribes had to choose to support man or support the
demons, the Jinn, Jann and Marid chose to support
humans. The Ifrit and Shaitan chose demons. When
the djinn made their choice, their metaplane physically transformed with the formation of the two
deserts.
At the end of the Great Rending, when the demons were locked away, the Ifrit and Shaitan pleaded not to be locked away as well. The Marid, oldest
of the djinn tribes, believed they should not suffer
the fate of demons. The other djinn agreed and
took them back, hoping they will be redeemed. This
is why a suf can summon all fve tribes. Because
of Marid, Jinn, and Jann’s choice to side with metahumanity, they often appear in the humanoid
form. Ifrit and Shaitan’s choice, however, transformed their visage to something more frightening.
> There’s a grey area even with the IRM—namely,
why summon an Ifrit or Shaitan, who chose demons
over metahumanity? How can their actions ever be
trustworthy?

巨灵在伊斯兰流派里,精魂被称作巨灵。这些生灵不是宗教意义上的天使,而是其它同样被神创造的生物。在大多数西方人和星界百科(Aetherpedia)看来,只有一种精魂,也就是巨灵(或魔灵genie),但事实上有五种巨灵,他们以精魂部落的形式存在,类似欧洲的妖精(fae)。五个巨灵部落分别是Marid、Ifrit、Shaitan、Jinn和Jann。这些巨灵来自一个他们称作巨灵斯坦(Ginnistan)的泛位面。巨灵斯坦又热又干。一个巨大的玻璃之城,Schadou Kiam,坐落在两个无垠的沙漠之间。Schadou Kiam是所有部落会面的权力之都。它有时被称作无形之城,热浪与透明的塔楼让城市仿若无形。它的左边是Badiat-Goldare,一个黑色火山沙砾和硫磺组成的沙漠。这是怪物的沙漠,黑色的恶魔生物以及被驱散的精魂在此生活。右边是Badiat-Tealgim,一个白色硅沙构成的沙漠,沙子会在风吹拂时歌唱。这是Peri的沙漠,最善良的精魂在此生活。但从前并不是这样的。许多年岁以前,一个伟大的Jinn预见到将出现巨大的新月形裂缝,战争将吞噬他的人民。他看到巨灵们都会被毁灭,除非他们选择支持一方。当五个部落面临支持人类或恶魔的选择时,Jinn、Jann和Marid选择了人类。Ifrit和Shaitan选择了恶魔。巨灵做出选择后,他们的泛位面结构发生了变化,形成了如今的两个沙漠。
在大分裂(Great Rending)的末期,恶魔被关押,Ifrit和Shaitan请求不要将自己也关起来。Marid,巨灵部落中最古老的一个,认为他们不应承担恶魔的命运。其他巨灵同意了,将他们放了出来,希望他们能改邪归正。这就是为什么苏菲信徒能够召唤所有五个部落。Marid、Jinn、Jann选择了支持泛人类,他们通常以人形出现。而Ifrit和Shaitan的选择则让他们的外貌变成了更为恐怖的东西。
>这对IRM来说也是个灰色区域——即是说,问什么要召唤支持恶魔而不是泛人类的Ifrit和Shaitan?怎么能相信他们的行动?

Marid are the eldest, and some say the most
powerful, of the Djinn. They can be proud and
arrogant. The Marid tribe appears often as freless smoke or large blue humanoids. This appearance is what is most commonly described
by legends and a generic description of djinn in
general due to the frequency with which Marid is
summoned. This also is why there are fewer Marid than of the other tribes.
Note that each type of djinn prefers to be called
by their name or tribe but they will answer to the
term “djinn.” Calling any of them that is probably
the safest bet if you’re not certain what tribe they
represent.
For many in the Islamic world, djinn are considered demons who often trick humans into doing bad things. There are exceptions as portrayed
by stories, in particular 1,001 Arabian Nights.
Most often summoned djinn appear in metahuman form with eyes that sparkle with fre. They
can also have blended animalistic features of
desert creatures (scorpion tail, lion head, etc.). Ifrit commonly take on inhuman features of a bat,
while a Shaitan bristles with thorns/horns. Free
djinn, or those who are found in the desert, can
appear as animals (like a white camel) or natural weather phenomena (like a dust storm). More
dangerous and powerful free spirits are not confned to such simple forms, taking shapes like
sand sculpted into a camel, a giant scorpion, or
even a fre-breathing camel spider.
As the djinn grow in power, the spirit’s skin
tone actually changes. The younger, weaker ones
are shades of green; then they change to blue,
then red, while the most powerful are black. This
can be seen in their metahuman form more than
any other shape. The djinn’s aura is also tinted by
this unusual color pattern
> There are also yellow djinn, but they are rare. No one
knows where their color falls on the power scale.
> Crescent Moon
Marid是最古老的巨灵,有人会说他们也是最强大的。他们可以骄傲又自大。Marid部落通常为无火的浓烟或是巨大的人形。这种形态最常见于传说中,也是对一般巨灵的常见描述,原因是Marid被召唤的频率最为频繁。这也是为什么Marid的数量比其它部落要少。
要注意每种类型的巨灵都喜欢被他们的名字或是部落的名字称呼,但他们也会回应“巨灵”这一称号。若你不确定他们代表了哪个部落,管他们叫巨灵或许是最安全的方式。
伊斯兰世界的许多人都将巨灵看作是魔鬼,会引诱人类犯下错事。其中的例外则在故事中有所描述,尤其是《一千零一夜》。大部分被召唤的巨灵都以泛人类的形态出现,双眼冒着火光。他们也可能融入一些沙漠生物的动物特征(蝎尾、狮头等)。Ifrit通常选择非人的蝙蝠特征,Shaitan则长着刺或角。自由巨灵,或在沙漠里发现的巨灵,可能是动物的形态(像是白骆驼)或自然天气现象(比如沙暴)。更危险、更强大的自由精魂则不受单纯的形态限制,他们能选择诸如沙子筑成的骆驼、巨型蝎子,甚至是喷火的骆驼蝎子这样的形态。
随着巨灵力量增强,他们的皮肤颜色也会发生切实的变化。年轻、弱小的巨灵是绿色的,然后变成蓝色,之后是红色,最强大的则是黑色。这一点在他们的泛人类形态上看得最为清楚。巨灵的灵光也会被染上这种不寻常的色彩。
>还有黄色的巨灵,但很罕见。没人知道他们的颜色属于那种力量层级。

Some djinn have a vulnerability to metal, such
as copper or iron. It is believed that with this
knowledge, King Solomon was frst able to trap
djinn. Various arcane pursuits used legends of genies in bottles to fnd ways to not only summon or
bind spirits but keep them imprisoned. The myths
speak of another aspect of djinn that has been
known to pop up in reality—they sometimes offer
wishes, though mostly what happens is a djinn offering illusions, which helps build their reputation
as deceivers. In modern study, djinn are perceived
as carrying strong resentment when bound to a
magician, citing Solomon as the original cause of
their angst.
> Wasn’t there an old flatvid with a crazy blonde genie in a
bottle?
> Slamm-0!
> That, and stuff from further back, like the aforementioned
1,001 Arabian Nights. The book has a collection of stories
of djinn and how they can grant wishes and put magicians
on flying carpets and the like. That last one is especially
interesting. Literal magicians are still working on an
effcient flying carpet, though some say stories of flying
carpets should be taken as metaphors for astral travel.

有的巨灵对金属过敏,例如铜或铁。人们相信所罗门国王正是凭借这种知识首先捕捉了巨灵。许多奥秘学追寻者凭着瓶中魔灵的传说试图寻找不仅仅召唤或束缚精魂,而是囚禁精魂的方法。这类神话还说明了巨灵的另一种已知在现实中出现过的特性——他们有时会满足愿望,但这些愿望大部分时候都只是巨灵提供的幻象,这造就了他们欺骗者的名声。在现代研究中,有观察到巨灵在被法师束缚时抱有强烈的不满,他们指责所罗门是他们痛苦的根源。
>不是有个老平面片子讲一个瓶子里发了疯的金发魔灵吗?
>Slamm-0!
>那个,还有更早的东西,比如之前提到的《一千零一夜》。这本书有许多关于巨灵的故事,还有他们怎么满足愿望、把法师放在飞毯上,诸如此类。最后一个尤其有趣。真的有法师还在研究能用的飞毯,但也有人说飞毯的故事应当看作星界旅行的隐喻。

NOTABLE TEACHERS
Within the Arabian Caliphate, there is no more
influential teacher-sheikh than Joseph Chamseddine. Chamseddine is the childhood friend
and spiritual mentor of Caliph Ibrahim Kamel.
As a Suf mystic, his ideas are not always in line
with majority views, but Joseph presents himself
as a bridge builder rather than a dogmatist. The
protection afforded to him by the caliph allows
him the freedom to teach Sufsm, though Medina still does not seem ready for a Sufsm-friendly university. If you are serious about learning
from Chamseddine, try getting in touch with his
mother, Hilal, who runs a restaurant in Qana,
Lebanon.
> Don’t get the wrong impression. Chamseddine doesn’t
dictate policy or belief to the caliph. Far from it. They
don’t see eye to eye on many things. However, there is a
deep respect between the two men, which has softened
the new caliph’s posture toward those who are different.
That posture only extends so far, however. The caliph
still seems to hold on to much of the xenophobia of his
predecessors. The West has many hurdles to overcome in
relationship with the Caliphate.
> Am-mut
> I hear Johnny Spinrad’s been doing just fne in his
“relationships” within the Caliphate. He’s as Western as
they come.

著名教导者在阿拉伯哈里发帝国内,没有那个老师-长老比约瑟夫·沙姆斯丁更具影响力。沙姆斯丁是哈里发易卜拉欣·卡迈勒的童年伙伴和精神导师。作为一名苏菲神秘学者,他的观点并不是总和主流看法一致。但约瑟夫把自己看作桥梁而不是教条主义者。虽然麦地那还没准备好接受一家对苏菲主义友好的大学,但哈里发为他提供的保护让他能够自由地教导苏菲主义。如果你认真地想师从沙姆斯丁,试着和他的母亲希拉勒联系,她在黎巴嫩南部加纳经营一家餐馆。
>别会错意。沙姆斯丁并没有向哈里发灌输政治或宗教信仰。差得远了。他们在许多事情上意见相悖。但两人互相对对方怀有深刻的敬意,正是这点软化了新哈里发对不同事物的姿态。但也仅仅是姿态。这位哈里发似乎依然坚持他前任的仇外心理。西方和哈里发帝国的关系还有许多障碍有待克服。
>Am-mut
>我听说强尼·斯普兰德在哈里发帝国内部的“关系”不错。他西方得不能再西方了。
>Clockwork

那些想获得最好的伊斯兰炼金术指导的人,去君士坦丁堡的大市集找乌代·“阿托斯”·安塔尔。阿托斯在伊拉克被并入哈里发帝国前曾为伊拉克总统工作。逃离后,他去了大集市,在那经营了一家奇特的商店,过着相当惬意的生活。阿托斯出售古兰经护身符(没有魔法的)、试剂、合规法术公式、符合伊斯兰教义和符合犹太教教义的原料,但如果他喜欢你,或者你付他一大笔钱,他能教你许多炼金术知识。
>阿托斯在伊斯坦布尔倍受尊敬,还有畏惧。他能为他喜欢的家伙创造奇迹,而那些他不喜欢的人,生活会变得……很有挑战性。

苏莱曼·伊斯廷卡拉是德州沃斯堡布莱特神学院的一位合规古兰经魔法教师。没错,讽刺的是他唯一能安全地使用和发展他的理论的地方是一家自由神学院。但自从大觉醒以来,许多神学院都拓展了他们的研究计划以容纳多种宗教。伊斯廷卡拉,如同这个名字的含义一样,是个“剪切古兰经”以获得智慧的大师。他很容易找到,你不费任何功夫就能报名他的课程,只要有假SIN。

ROLE-PLAYING AN ISLAMIC MAGE
Given the deep persecution that the Awakened suffered
under the Arabian Caliphate, it is no surprise that mages still
do not feel comfortable in their own skin there. Outside of the
Caliphate, things are different. Acceptance and belonging,
whether it is in shadowrunning teams or groups like the
Islamic Renaissance Movement, have allowed space for
the tradition to grow. There will always be those, within the
Islamic world and without, whose prejudice will not allow
them to see an Islamic mage as anything but a threat. So a
little paranoia might be helpful.

扮演伊斯兰法师
鉴于觉醒者在阿拉伯哈里发帝国遭受的沉重迫害,法师在那里感觉不适也就没什么好惊讶的。在哈里发帝国之外则不同。接纳与归属,无论是在狂奔队伍还是在伊斯兰复兴运动这类组织都给予了伊斯兰流派发展的空间。但无论是伊斯兰世界内部还是外部,总是会有一些将伊斯兰法师看作纯粹威胁的人。因此一点点疑心总是好的。
伊斯兰流派*
战斗:守护
侦察:地
生命:植物
幻象:气
操纵:火
耗竭:意志+逻辑
*召唤巨灵的伊斯兰法师见下方替代规则
偏好法术:
侦察敌人、火球术、恐慌预兆、群体痛苦术、锢魂术
巨灵规则
若想扮演一位罕见的胆敢召唤巨灵的伊斯兰法师,使用的精魂类型略有不同。这种可选伊斯兰流派使用下表召唤巨灵。
Jinn:兽
Jann:地
Shaitan:气
Marid:水
Ifrit:火
耗竭:意志+逻辑
新增精魂特点
巨灵能选择对某种金属严重过敏(铜、铁、银、金)以换取一个额外可选能力。注意金属必须是试剂级纯度才能影响巨灵。只能选择一次。同时巨灵也可以将已有的一种严重金属过敏换为另一种金属;这不会让他们获得额外可选能力。
所有巨灵天生都有抵抗束缚的意志,视为拥有Restless特质(Street Grimoire P99).
所有巨灵都有可选能力天生法术(三维幻象)。
人形巨灵的肤色随它的强度改变。肤色无法隐藏,除非通过伪装(超魔)或幻象。奥秘学+逻辑(2)[精神]检定能根据巨灵的外表估计他的强度。
强度 | 颜色 |
1-2 | 绿 |
3–5 | 蓝 |
6–9 | 红 |
10+ | 黑 |
虽然所有被召唤的精魂理论上都不必全说真话,但Ifrit和 Shaitan只要能达成自己的目的就会撒谎,例如为了从任务中解脱。法师必须察言观色(SR5 P152)才能知道他们召唤的精魂说的是否是真话。精魂依然必须按照自己对命令的理解完成任务。
