Avatar Storm

From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference

The Avatar Storm is a huge influx of spirit energy which coalesces within the Gauntlet, but its effects can be seen — and sometimes felt — throughout the Umbra. The Avatar Storm occurred at the end of the Week of Nightmares in 1999, leaving a disordered and devastated Horizon in it's wake. At the same time, the Gauntlet thickened, and apparently embedded with jagged shards of Avatars, although no one is sure if this was cause, effect, precursor or aftershock, of the Avatar Storm.

The Storm's winds are drawn to Paradox and will. The costs of being caught unprotected in the path of the Avatar winds can potentially be very high. A mage caught undefended might count death a minor penalty compared some of the effects of the Avatar that have been observed.
