The Mythic World and the Prosaic Reality are the same; what you do in one, you do to another. If you talk to a building, you're talking to a building in both worlds. This means that if you do this in a public and populated space, ordinary people will think you are crazed, and act appropriately. Communicating telepathically with your Familia is a Realm Divination, unless you have Realm 2 and they have Realm 2. You can get a sense of their state even if they don't have Realm 2. Realm miracles only work on something that is part of your Realm. If a person, that person must eat and drink from your Realm. If an object, it must exist in your Realm for at least 24 hours before taking on the essence of the Realm. Realm miracles work on something of your Realm out of your Realm as well; you can spend 1 realm point per day to extend the period of time that objects of your Realm maintain their Realm citizenship and Realm properties (such as magic) outside the Realm. Nobles aren't immortal unless they buy Eternal. The lifespan of a Noble is based on their gifts and Aspect. Aspect 0 equates to a lifespan of about 100 years; each level of Aspect adds 50 years to that, and Immutable doubles or triples that. Prayer is a means of communication between Nobles, but it's not a reliable one, because Nobles don't know who is praying to them until they pick up on their end, and they get a lot of calls (though it does depend some on the Estate). It's like a cross between getting lots of telemarketing calls and not having Caller ID, and email, because it's not a 2-way communication. How do most powers communicate with each other if they're not members of the same chancel? That's what Earth is for, and cellphones, and message services, and email, and secretaries and so forth.
