This is a "maintenance" rote, one preferred by mysticks who don't like to bother with constant magics at play on their physical person. Some Verbena brew potions of youth;  Sons of Ether boast of their Phoenix Engines. Whatever the outward trappings, this rote will transform the mage's body into the state it was in nine years ago, effectively giving her almost another decade of life. Most mysticks who are using this rote tend to perform it in a Horizon Realm, since the Paradox backlash could be intense indeed.

[This Effect requires five successes, and the difficulty is appropriately frightening. The pomp and circumstance of high ritual usually aids the process, as does the presence of plentiful and readily available Tass. The mage temporarily halts Entropy while using Life magick to rejuvenate her body. The Time Sphere helps the mage sense what she -was like (not what she thinks she was like) nine years back, and the Mind Sphere helps her mentally adjust to the "resetting" of her brain without losing the memories of the last nine years. Finally, the adept must be a master of Prime to fuel such an incredible regression to a younger, stronger state. Once the rote is completed, the willworker ages normally.]
