Time Effects

• • • Distort Time — By generating a field of slow or fast time, the mage causes localized distortions that let people or objects move and react

to the world at different rates than normal. A bubble of fast time would contain a person who could move two or three times faster than normal, for

instance, while slow time could enfold a hurled weapon and cause it to seem to float through the air in a leisurely fashion. The subject still

experiences an undistorted sense of subjective time, so the fast man would feel as if he's moving at normal speed while the world around him is

slow, and the hurled weapon would retain its deadly momentum but could be easily grabbed by the handle.

Every two successes scored causes the bubble to accelerate or decelerate time by one factor. Thus, two successes would allow a mage to double

her physical speed, taking two actions in a single turn.
