1223.2a Interludes in Surreal Time

Tranquillina smooths out the wrinkes in her doctor's robes as she addresses Elizabeth. [color=magenta]"I don't understand ... can you explain your objection to using the horoscope?"

[color=magenta]"It seems we are not fortunate enough that I can do this alone," she sighs. [color=magenta]"After the kind hospitality of Le Maison these last few months, I was hoping not to subject anyone else to the risks involved in this powerful ritual. But if we must use a Wizard's Communion, it require several sodales working together, not just you and I. We should begin the preparations...."

Tranqillina pauses for a moment, pursing her lips. [color=magenta]"I can probably keep the wounds from worsening for a couple of days, at the very least. Another option is to hope that he regains consciousness before my Bind Wound spell wears off, at which point he can allow the more powerful ritual to affect him."

Without a huge amount of hope that it will help, Tranquillina casts Bind Wound upon Ra'am (unless someone offers an objection to it). She'll use some of Ra'am's blood as an Arcane Connection, as well as his name, giving her a (1 +3 +1) = 5x multiplier; her Penetration score is 2, but +1 for having the Penetration mastery for Bind Wound (for situations just like this one). So her casting total is Cr 6 + Co 27 + Sta -3 + Mastery 1 + Talisman attunement (Corpus) +3 + stress die 0 (but no botch dice due to Mastery; I think this is a calm situation anyway) = 34 + aura. For the level 10 spell, her Penetration is (34+aura-10) + (5x3) = 39+aura, which should be enough. (And the spell will last almost five days. Man, I'm a 0-rolling machine....)
