Description: Will allow the caster to record a reflection in the mirror, which is formed in the real world (like a hologram). This Transposes the reflection into the real world. It appears as though the refection is standing in front of the mirror causing the reflection. However no reflection will be in the mirror.

System: The mirror must be silver polished to a mirror finish. Modern mirrors can be used provided that they use silver for the reflective surface on the glass. Modern aluminum mirrors will not work. The caster mixes their blood with powdered tyme and quartz dust. The caster then paints a representation of the time the mirror will reflect using her own blood. (3 successes on a dex+crafts). When the ritual is cast the caster sets the scene so that whatever is reflected in the mirror, will instead be "projected" out of the mirror in its entirety. This is not an exact science, and is based on the painting and intent of the caster. as such it will only duplicate what the caster wishes, and what can be reflected. The 3d image is locked into the mirror, It will “emit” from the mirror, and the distance from it is based on the actual reflection (whatever distance the object is from the mirror when cast is the distance the "hologram." Note the image isn’t actually emitting from the mirror, so it cant be “blocked” like a true hologram (until you destroy the mirror). Again size doesn’t matter but the reflection has to be “real” If one looks into the mirror it will reflect everything including the 3d image as normal. (effect will break when the mirror is broken).

Note: thought this ritual is most often used to duplicate static objects. it is possible to create a "moving" scene with 6 successes on the dex crafts roll. However this scene will loop, and the player needs a to make an additional intelligence+crafts dif 8 to make sure the loop is perfect.
