The mage casts Arm Ghost, then any other spell, with a ghost as the designated recipient of the second spell. That spell does not take effect; instead, the one-time ability to activate the spell’s effect passes to the ghost. The ghost can use the effect at any time thereafter, as an instant action. The roll for the subject spell is made when the ghost chooses to unleash it, using the mage’s relevant dice pool. The ghost gains the benefit from any positive effects of the roll that would apply to the mage.
Where story logic permits, however, all ill effects, including Paradoxes and dramatic failures, are suffered by the willworker, even if she is a great distance from the ghost when the spell is used.
- Practice: Weaving
- Action: Instant and contested; target rolls Resistance reflexively (the target can choose not to contest)
- Duration: Prolonged (this spell uses the advanced prolongation factors)
- Aspect: Covert
- Cost: 1 Mana
The spell itself provides no guarantee that the ghost will use its spell in the manner specified. Any such assurances depend on negotiation or coercion between willworker and ghost.
