Índice 5: Mestre em Templo (•••••)

Blink of an Eye (Time •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Spell Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Academics, Crafts, Occult

By collapsing time around a subject, the mage allows her to accomplish in seconds what would take hours. This spell turns the next extended action taken by the subject into an instant action, absorbing rolls equal to Potency into a single turn. It does not affect ritual casting intervals for mages. +2 Reach: For a point of Mana, the spell may affect spellcasting, increasing the effective Gnosis of a mage subject by Potency for purposes of ritual casting interval only. For every effective Gnosis over 10, reduce the ritual interval by one turn.

Corridors of Time (Time •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Spell Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Academics, Investigation, Persuasion

Where less-advanced Time mages can only undo actions leading directly up to the present, a Master may choose any moment in her subject’s timeline and destroy everything after it, sending the subject’s present self back in time to the moment of the mage’s choosing. The subject arrives in the past at the specified time, inhabiting his own past body and is free to act, changing history by his actions, although the distortions to his timeline are visible under Active Time Mage Sight. He remains in the past for a time equal to Corridors of Time’s Duration factor, or until he “catches up” to the present. Once in the present, the new timeline sets and any changes the subject made to history become Lasting.

Without temporal sympathy, the subject may only be sent back to a period with an Unchanged temporal sympathy to the present. By using temporal sympathy, the mage may allow her subject to revisit old decisions and make different choices. The subject arrives in whatever location he was in at the time chosen. By including the Sympathetic Range Attainment, the mage may send him somewhere else, but subjects cannot be sent back to periods outside their own lifetime. Such unfettered time travel is the stuff of legend, temporal Irises, and whispers about the powers of archmages.

Temporal Pocket (Time •••••)

Practice: Making
Primary Spell Factor: Duration
Suggested Rote Skills: Occult, Science, Stealth

The mage grants her subject a gift of hours, Making extra time on her timeline. To the subject, the entire world appears to pause, frozen in time. After the subjective Duration factor of the spell, the subject rejoins the Fallen World’s timeline and, to him, the universe immediately starts moving again. While under the effects of a Temporal Pocket, the subject ages normally, any Conditions that change with time continue, wounds continue bleeding out, he must sleep the usual amount, and so on. He may move freely, examine objects, take any Mental actions, heal, touch things, and even cast spells with himself as the subject, but not physically move, consume, or injure anything — any attempt to do so immediately ends the spell, but returns the subject to the timeline having just completed the action he attempted.
