Capture Ether

From Curious Pastimes Wiki
Name Capture Ether
Length Very Short (30 Seconds)
Range 5ft / 1.5m
Duration 3 years
Cost 2 magic points per sphere
Material Cost 1 unit of powdered gemstone, 1-3 glass spheres
Key Words Invocation
Description This rite must be performed within 5ft/1.5m of a live ether fissure. The Ritual Magic skill can be used to "see" a live fissure and indicate where the rite must be performed.


The performer captures ether into up to 3 suitably crafted glass spheres, up to a limit determined by the available ether in the fissure. Each glass sphere then becomes an ether sphere.

The type of ether in each sphere is determined by the attending referee. The spheres produced from a single fissure, or in a single performance of this rite, will not necessarily all contain the same ether.

Ether spheres expire three years following the date they were made.

Skills Charm Invocation
