Question about exploding Children
What is a 'normal' percentage of sourced children to develop instability & explode? I thought having a mage (or a demon I thought) as guardian, granting them the mind aura enhancement, or both is supposed to 'lessen' that chance.

Even with both 'preventatives' I still have about 10% that do not survive. it it tied to source level? Does the guardian mage (or demon) have to have a higher source level than the child? What mechanics (stress/wounding/traits/etc.) trigger or raise instability and does anything but RNG lower it?

An unstable source is quite a rare case - if a child has a source with a potential of 40+ and is/will not be a demon, the source can become unstable at 5 - 7 years of age - there is a 20% chance of this happening.
A child with instability may get one of several events every year - if the aura is enhanced, they may also lose some instability instead of an event. Within the events, the instability can also decrease - as long as the guardian is competent - but this usually involves the risk of a magical eruption, i.e. getting hurt or exploding.
Apart from the initial condition, potential does not matter for either the child or the guardian.

If you only have 10% of unstable sources dying, that's a great result :o

Yes, such an event can happen - if the person responsible for the child (usually the guardian) is a demon. The guardian must have at least 10 XP in the demon trait for the option to be available... but there is no guarantee that such an event will occur, it is random.
