Preserve the Forgotten
Rank 4 Thaumaturgy, based on purely Hermetic principles.
This ritual preserves any psychic impression born by an object intact for a period of time. It can be used in conjunction with Stoke the Lambent Flame, or Dimming Memory's Passage.
System: The caster prepares an arcane circle of preservation, isolation, and thought, and places the object in its center. Then, using arcane gestures and words, the caster transfers the magic of the circle to the object, preserving its psychic impressions intact, and isolating it from any new ones for the duration of the ritual. The ritual takes one hour to cast, and its duration depends on the caster's successes. At the end of the ritual's duration, all impressions begin to fade naturally as if the intervening time had never taken place.
1 success: 1 night.
2 successes: 1 week.
3 successes: 1 month.
4 successes: 1 year.
5+ successes: Permanent until the object is destroyed.
Part of the Psychometry series.
