How the Mage The Ascension Name Generator works
A Mage the Ascension name generator for awakened wizards. In this game, mages bend reality with their beliefs, whether they see magic as ancient ritual or cutting-edge science. Generate mystic shadow names, techno-mage handles, cabals and chantries.
How the Mage the Ascension name generator works
Many mages take a shadow name, a new identity that protects their real name and reflects their magic, like Merion or Raven the Seer. The Mystic mode gives a mortal name with the shadow name beside it. The Techno-mage mode is for mages who see magic as hyper-science, giving hacker handles like NullGhost or a scientist with a lab. Cabal and Chantry modes name the small groups mages work in and the fortified sanctums they share.
Belief shapes the name
A mage's paradigm, how they believe magic works, should shape the name. Mystics and hedge witches sound old, while technologists sound like code.

FAQ
What is a shadow name?
A shadow name is a magical alias a mage takes after awakening. It hides their real name from enemies and reflects their magic, and many mages are better known by it than by their birth name.
How do I name a technology-based mage?
Use the Techno-mage mode. Technology-minded mages often have handles or code names like SigmaFlux, or academic titles and lab names that make their magic sound like science.
What is a cabal?
A cabal is a small group of mages who work together, like an adventuring party. A good cabal name sounds secretive and symbolic, like the Veiled Compass or the Circle of Nine Doors.
Can I use these for other magic stories?
Yes. The names are original and fit any urban fantasy, modern magic or occult story, from tabletop games to novels and video games, and they make good names for secret societies too.
