The mage steals years of life from a Sleeper to extend his own life. Each person is allotted a set span of years, a single thread of existence that is snipped with each passing year, the thread growing shorter and shorter. A person’s actions in life can fray the thread or stretch it. This spell allows a mage to snip a portion of a Sleeper’s thread and sew it to his own. This spell cannot be cast upon supernatural beings, including the Awakened.
* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Unmaking]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Extended]] and contested; target rolls Stamina reflexively
* [[Duration]]: Lasting
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Vulgar]]
* Cost: 1 [[Cost::Mana]]
The target number of successes equals the number of years sought from the target, although the mage may not steal more years with a single casting than his total dots in Death. The mage can cast this spell on the same target only once a year.

This effect is largely in the hands of the Storyteller. It is a means mages can use to live beyond a normal mortal life span, although it does not prevent the effects of aging nor death by calamity.

[[Silver Ladder]] Rote: Drawing the Thread of Years
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Manipulation]] + [[Pool::Subterfuge Skill|Subterfuge]] + [[Pool::Death]] vs. Stamina
Building something of lasting importance can be difficult at best to accomplish within a single lifetime. Ladder willworkers turn to this rote to seize a few more precious years in which to finish their grand works.

[[Mysterium]] Rote (Unnamed)
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Intelligence]] + [[Pool::Subterfuge Skill|Subterfuge]] + [[Pool::Death]] vs. Stamina
Mysterium scholars likewise fail to see any reward in departing the mortal coil while halfcompleted projects and unfinished research remain.
