Contaminating a Mystery with one’s own Nimbus is an ever-pres- ent danger when Scrutinizing. By means of this spell, the mage dampens the subject’s Nimbus and gives her more time to study the Mystery. Add this spell’s Potency to the number of rolls allowed before the subject’s Nimbus leaks into the Mystery (Mage, p. 93.)

If this spell’s Duration expires while the subject is still Scru- tinizing, immediately apply all accumulated penalties to the subject’s Scrutiny rolls.
