The mage can alter the flow of energy through a ley line, adjusting the flow anywhere from a torrent to a mere trickle, or, instead, he can change the current’s direction of flow, sending the current back upstream to its source node.


Before casting, the mage must decide whether to adjust the strength of the line’s flow or alter its direction. He could, however, cast this spell twice, once to lower the strength and again to alter its flow or vice-versa. Strength of Flow: When adjusting the flow’s Strength, the mage manages to raise or lower the Strength by one dot per success. Most ley lines have an existing Strength of 2. To raise a Strength 2 ley flow to Strength 4 would require a target number of two successes. The mage could reduce the Strength to zero, in which case the line ceases to flow. The higher the Strength, the more dramatic and quick are the effects of its resonance on people, places and things in the ley line’s path. Direction of Flow: When reversing the line’s direction of flow, making it go upstream rather than down, the mage needs one success per Strength dot of the line’s flow. It is easier to reverse the flow of a weak line than a strong one. A line with a Strength of 2 would require a target number of two successes.


Silver Ladder Rote: Governing the Tides

The Silver Ladder learned early about the relationship between a ley line’s current and resonance. The order also discovered the subtle effectiveness that altering a rival sanctum’s nodal resonance has on the sanctum’s power. This spell is the primary reason why cabals patrol miles upstream to safeguard their holdings.
