Among the more treasured of the arts available to those who pursue understanding of the Time Arcanum is the ability to read the past or the future, learning what has already come to pass or what may yet be. Some mages learn to occlude their own pasts and futures from others’ scrutiny (see “Shield of Chronos”), but simple concealment isn’t always sufficient; sometimes, deception is called for. Under these sorts of circumstances, mages skilled in Time’s magic can fabricate events in history or yet to come, deliberately leading enemies astray.
Mechanics: For this spell’s Duration, the caster’s history and future reflect whatever she wishes when glimpsed by anyone using prophecy, divination or any other form of temporal Scrying to read either, unless the caster overcomes the Potency of this spell.
