How to Perform a Rending
- Decide the Effect: Determine the effect of your Rending, mixing and matching according to Concept descriptions. For example: Lightning Bolt/Fireball: Forces 3/Prime 2; Dimension Door: Correspondence 3.
- Perform an Individuality Test: The Base DC is calculated as:
10 + ((Dominant Concept Rank - 1) × 2) + (5 × No. of Secondary Concepts) + (Secondary Concept Ranks - No. of Secondary Concepts). The DC is modified based on the Difficulty Modifier column, and the roll is modified

Theory and General Method
Characteristic Equation: det(A - λI) = 0. For a 3x3 matrix, the equation is: λ³ - S₁λ² + S₂λ - |A| = 0
- S₁: Trace of A (sum of diagonal elements).
- S₂: Sum of principal minors =
|a₂₂ a₂₃; a₃₂ a₃₃| + |a₁₁ a₁₃; a₃₁ a₃₃| + |a₁₁ a₁₂; a₂₁ a₂₂|. - |A|: Determinant of matrix A.
