Chronomancy

Description

An ancient Path of Koldunic Sorcery, this Path manipulates the fundamental flow and effect of the forces of time. Certain levels of this Path are extremely taxing and may require a Willpower expenditure upon activation.

* Stall

By slowing the movements and perceptions of those around her, a sorcerer may react to a situation more quickly than her enemies or compatriots. System: For each success on the Willpower roll, add one success to all of your Initiative rolls for the rest of the scene.

** Catnap

By activating this level before entering torpor, the sorcerer may wake herself long before her Humanity would normally dictate. System: After spending a Willpower Point, for each success on the Willpower roll, the thaumaturgist may treat her Humanity as if it were one level higher for the purposes of calculating length of torpor.

*** Accelerate

Mimicking the effects of Celerity, this level allows a sorcerer to speed up her own actions in order to take more actions per turn.

System: For each success on the Willpower roll, the thaumaturgist may take one additional action that turn. A botch results in a loss of all actions for the following turn. Each of these actions counts as one turn for the sorcerer, thus making applications of Celerity particularly devastating.

**** Halt

At this level, the sorcerer may actually freeze time for an instant.

System: For each success on the Willpower roll, the thaumaturgist may stop time for one turn, allowing her a turn of uninterrupted action. This requires a Willpower Point to be spent at the time of activation.

***** Recall

At this final, and awesome level, the chronomancer may actually draw forth the past and interact with it at her leisure.

System: By going to the desired location, and spending a Willpower Point, the thaumaturgist may step backward in time and relive an era or event that took place at that location. As this is not literal time travel, the thaumaturgist is in no danger of altering the flow of time or the space-time continuum.
