This spell suspends time around you and the secondary casters, creating an opaque bubble where you can continue your work. Time only passes within the area of the ritual. If you or any of the secondary casters leave this bubble, the ritual ends. Objects that leave the ritual's area (or outside of it after the ritual's casting) cannot be brought back into it. When casting this ritual, you can have up to 10 secondary casters assist you. You can perform any activities that you have the necessary supplies on hand for, such as Crafting items or Learning a Spell.

After you leave the bubble of borrowed time, you and the result of your work blink into existence for those outside the bubble.

The time is only borrowed, not created. At some point after the ritual's casting, all primary and secondary casters lose the same amount of time as they borrowed. When they do so, they jump forward in time. This occurs at a time and place the GM deems appropriate. The casters can experience this at different times, as they do not all need to borrow time from the same point in their lives. Any caster who has not paid back their previously borrowed time can't participate in this ritual again.


Critical Success You borrow 1 week of time.

Success You borrow 1 day of time.

Failure The time stream is stable and refuses you.

Critical Failure The borrowing of time goes awry, instead sapping away at your time. You immediately age 1 month.
