The mage protects himself against Time senses, warding against sensory uses of the Time Arcanum and making it harder for others to scry upon his past or future (or, for those who look from the past or the future, his present).
* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Veiling]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Instant]]
* [[Duration]]: [[Duration::Prolonged]] (one scene)
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Covert]]
* Cost: 1 [[Cost::Mana]] (optional)
The mage becomes invisible to prophecy, divination and other forms of temporal scrying unless the caster overcomes the Potency of the occluded mage’s spell. 

By spending one Mana, the [[Duration]] can be made to last for one day.


[[Guardians of the Veil]] Rote: Breaking the Trail of Days
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Composure]] + [[Pool::Stealth Skill|Stealth]] + [[Pool::Time]]
For many Guardians of the Veil, the first, best secrets to keep are one’s own. With this rote, the mage becomes invisible to all save the most persistent and invasive searches of the Time Arcanum. Willworkers of the Silver Ladder use such magic ([[Pool::Presence]] + [[Pool::Stealth Skill|Stealth]] + [[Pool::Time]]) to occlude any unsavory activities upon the long road to rule, while those of the Adamantine Arrow employ this spell as yet another means to approach their enemies unseen..


Ancient Lands Pentalogy Rote: Imperial Aegis <ref>[[Grimoire of Grimoires]] p27</ref>
* Dice Pool: [[Pool::Resolve]] + [[Pool::Subterfuge Skill]] + [[Pool::Time]]
According to the Regent in Silver, this
defensive spell — in actuality, a Silver Ladder rote — was a
favorite of the Great Emperor, whose subtlety was so great
that even time itself flowed cautiously around him, wary
of what he might do.
