Forge Sophis (Matter ••••)

Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Occult, Science
This spell combines Perfected metals into a single metal which scavenges Mana. Called “sophis” (from the Greek word for “wisdom”), this material is forged from an alloy of apeiron, brontium and hermium. The object created by this spell is Durability 1 and can hold one point of Mana. Potency may be allocated, one for one, to increasing Durability or Mana capacity. For purposes of the spell’s Scale factor, the alloy has the same Size as the three component metals combined.
The first time someone holding the object forged with sophis spends Mana in a scene, the item absorbs one point of spent Mana. This does not change Mana costs, but instead scavenges the spent Mana before it dissipates. Mages can absorb the item’s Mana supply using the Prime spell “Channel Mana.”
+2 Reach: The spell’s effect is Lasting but relies on the con- stituent metals remaining Perfected. If any of them revert to mundane form, the alloy collapses into its separate ingredients.
