The mage shunts some of her personal stores of Mana forward in time, to a moment when she will need it.
For each success accrued in the casting of this spell,
the mage may send a single point of Mana from her
current total forward into the future, using the table
given for the Future Legacy spell to determine how long the character has
to recover her Mana. Because the caster attunes her
spell to the threads of her own destiny and because
the Mana within her is essentially stored within her
Awakened spirit, she effectively chooses the moment
that constitutes her “hour of need” and may freely
recover the Mana at that time, circumventing even
wards and other barriers that prevent the flow of such
energies; the Mana exists out of time and place until
it is needed and never actually “goes” anywhere. No
willworker may have more points of Mana readied for
use in this way than she has dots in Fate or Prime,
whichever is less. The Mana sent forward is lost from
the character’s current total and recovered points
may not bring her over the normal maximum Mana
permitted by her Gnosis. Mana not recovered before
the maximum allowable span of time is lost back into
the Tapestry.
Silver Ladder Rote: Supernal Reserve
A capable leader knows her true power lies not merely in what she has at hand, but also in what she can bring to bear when the need is dire. By exercising a bit of resource management, a théarch well-versed in the lore of time’s flow can put aside some muchneeded Mana in times of feast, knowing a time of famine must, inevitably, follow.
instruments useful to almost any task.
