The mage can fortify or weaken the Gauntlet at a Hallow.
Each success modifies the local Gauntlet’s Strength by one point in either direction up or down by a limit equal to the Hallow’s rating, although at this level the Gauntlet’s Strength cannot be reduced to zero. With the Spirit ●●●●● Control Gauntlet spell, the Gauntlet can be made to fade, creating a Verge where any being may step over instantly without using a spell.

Most commonly used by Guardians of the Veil to render the Gauntlet virtually impermeable at a Hallow, this rote can also be used to reduce the Strength of that barrier. Silver Ladder mages occasionally use the same magic to make manifestation easier for spirit allies.
