Say goodbye to obsolescence. Originally an Effect to prevent impotence by placing a figure of Inanna on the head of the bed, the Virtual Adepts have adapted this ancient ritual into an Effect that allows older computer hardware to exceed the limitations imposed by cutting-edge software. With this Effect, a 286 can run Windows 98 at peak performance or a Pentium III can execute algorithms meant for Crays. Software can function regardless of operating system. Usually vulgar, although one Virtual Adept supposedly funds his research entirely with this Effect.

System: The Audience of Inanna rote enhances all manner of computability — the Effect simply requires that Inanna be invoked into the system (often with special desktop wallpaper, a figurine on the tower case and some convoluted lists of charms and incantations stored in high memory). Success speeds the processor, boosts its connectivity and improves its performance standards; generally, each Effect success increases the computer's performance by a factor for the duration — one success helps a 286 to limp along, but with ten successes on an extended Effect, that same 286 could become the equivalent of a Pentium for a day or more.
