This rote, a favorite of the Akashic Brotherhood, slows

the aging process so drastically that the mage doesn't seem

to age at all. Once performed, the mystick need not recast

the rote time and again.

[This rote can seem coincidental if the mystick secludes

himself from regular contact with Sleepers. He uses his

Mastery of Prime to create a mostly self-maintaining energy

pattern that fuels the mutual slowing of Time and Entropy.

Life and Mind magick help keep his faculties, both physical

and mental, in proper working order.

[The downside is that the mage is still a thaumivore of

sorts, and must periodically refresh the Prime pattern running

the rote. Since this rote is more effective than most, the

mage need only "consume" about, say, a point of Quintessence

every week or so. If Quintessence isn't available, the

mystick takes a Health Level of damage per day, and begins

aging a little more rapidly. In some cases, Paradox has been

known to hit willworkers at this delicate stage, rapidly

withering them even beyond their chronological age. The

precise reason for this is unknown, although the Chorus

theorizes that the irregular ebb and flow of energy is an

affront to the Divinity.

[This rote cannot stop aging, merely slow it to a crawl.

The mage typically ages one year for every 50.]
