Brings forth a temporal echo from history and imbues it with solidity and fixed causality through infusion of Mana. The result is a nearly perfect copy of an inanimate object from the past, though an impermanent replica lacking any complicated features or supernatural powers of the original.
Mechanics: This spell duplicates the Prime 3 “Phantasm” spell with the following exceptions: first, the created object must copy an object the mage has temporal sympathy with and has either witnessed personally or in a vision of the past (f.ex. with Time 2 ''Postcognition'').
Because of this limitation, the item is automatically convincing, since it physically duplicates the original object’s external properties in every detail, down to the last nick, scratch, marking and resonance imprint. This makes books and other forms of writing particularly attractive targets for the spell, allowing a mage to peruse the contents of manuscripts otherwise lost to time.
Prime 4: The mage can recreate more durable and mechanically functional constructs per the “Phantasmal Equipment” spell, but such objects can't have any properties superior to what the original object had. Therefore, these items are more limited than conventional phantasms.
