Rotes by Craft / Tradition

Description: The mage concentrates himself and try to feel when something happened (or will happen) by imagining it and different times it might have happened at. The mage will feel when he gets closer to the right time as the "scent" gets stronger. This can for example be used to find out when a building was built or when a clock stopped. It cannot tell why or where something happened. This rote is named for the legendary paradox beings the Hounds of Clypsani, which ruthlessly hunt down mages who interfere with Time. They have the ability to find the mage regardless of the time he exists in, and will appear out of nearby corners to destroy him.

System: A temporal tracking rote, the above description isn't very clear, but should a time mage detect a temporal event, this rote can be used to track it down ruthlessly. ("The Magister 07:56, 22 June 2017 (MDT)")
