The mage captures a Final Name in a solid, physical form, allowing it to be both preserved and studied.
This spell allows the mage to understand a subject’s Final Name, record it in Mana and scribe it in some sort of physical medium — paper, stone or even a computer file. Once stored, the Final Name no longer decays and may be studied freely with the Study Final Name spell. This spell’s Duration is prolonged if cast on a living being or lasting if cast on the dead. If the caster has Fate ●●●, the Advanced Prolongation chart [1] may be used to determine the Duration when cast on a living target (remember, though, that spells cast on living beings cannot have an indefinite Duration). If, however, the owner of a recorded Momentary Name dies before the spell’s duration expires, the spell’s duration becomes lasting: the Momentary Name becomes the Final Name.
Mysterium Rote: Epitaph
Stone Scribes take their charge very seriously, and never scribe a Final Name on anything less sturdy than stone tablets.
