The more Mages look at it, the more it become clear the towers' faces aren't specific spells to be picked at and analyzed. But they are alive with resonance, that swirls and ripples.
For the Moros ( Wayland ), it's the wrenching of loss. Many will die; Souls will be claimed. And used. It's the sense of dark objects of power, wielded by the enemy, used to bring about the malaise.
The Acanthus ( Faye Tuesday ) know that Time is not the river that so many envision. It does not flow forward, it does not flow backwards. Like the true depiction of a Black Hole not being a hole -- but a sphere -- they know that Time simply is, and can be traversed in more than straight lines. Often, traversed with the guiding light of Fate. There's a foreboding, like the sense of a dark prophecy or Divination with momentum, approaching a point in the Time-Space where it will be Written. But they also feel, with their beautiful internal clocks, that there will be an intersection of opportunity -- in three weeks.
