Montwyte L1-1 Enchantment, Preservation

Preservation Enchantment - "Delay Entropy" - Spell < Enchantment >
Level: 1-1 Initiate
Summary: Slows the rate of decomposition and break down
Element: Earth
Requirements: Power symbol, Invocation chant, expend magik energy, ingredients
Effect: Items enchanted with this spell gain a temporary resistance to breaking down at their natural rate. Food spoils later, metals oxidize slower, and general goods and possessions resist minor damages and weather by coincidental luck. Perhaps even old buildings can be convinced not to collapse for a short time. Does NOT work on living animals or people.
Duration: 6 days per casting, max of one month. If "extra" magikal energy or resources are expended the items will resume decay at their natural pace afterward, if not the items will quickly revert to the state they would have been in without the term of protection.
Material: Magik symbol drawn on item/s, or to cast from. Powered salt, grave dirt, centipedes (better live), rain collected in a storm.
Chant: " I bear a mystic sigil and dare to implore the horrors and ancients of the abyss. Give leave of this marked <"item/object name"> to be spared the rampage of putrefaction and rust, the uncertainty of hungry chaos, and the cruel hand of time itself. Upon the sixth day the balance shall be repaid if these offerings are found unsuitable. I declare , so let it be done. "

[17:37] Montwyte Blackrain finished illuminating the last corner of the fresh parchment and reviewed the chaotic scribble, "attempt five," he sighed in recollection of a week's efforts.
[17:39] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) tapped out the pipe ash, refilling the pipe with a blend of cannabis and opium. She wandered over towards Montwyte and pressed against him as she read over his shoulder [17:40] Montwyte Blackrain I need something to test this pattern on, it's part one from the Retsiu tome and the rest is Orders Libram of Horrors. He leaned into her and showed her the colorful fusion of patterns.
[17:43] KK Fruit Plate whispers: Bon appetit from KK Food!
[17:44] Montwyte Blackrain tried not to be too hopeful, "Something that spoils quick, if this works it'll keep meat from going bad, preserve a corpse for a while, ship fresh herbs, well all kinds of uses possibly."
[17:46] Montwyte Blackrain: "Delay Entropy seemed like a suitable name for it", he pulled out his meteoritic medallion.
[17:47] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) nudged a small dish of fruit towards Montwyte. "I've already picked out my favorites...help yourself to the remainder." She took a long drag off the pipe and watched on with curious intent
[17:49] Montwyte Blackrain pointed at one corner of the wyrd page, "I just can't figure out how to not need -ihju threa- whatever that is, I'll look it up." He selected a pristine strawberry from the tray, "OK, this is the target." -moved next to the pile of books for a translation.
[17:51] Montwyte Blackrain sighed and shook his head, it wasn't too bad and to be found somewhere close. "Centipedes, better if live."
[17:54] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) picked through the bowl and fishing out a strawberry that wasn't quite up to her standards in fruit." Hmm. try this. I hate over ripe berries."
[17:57] Montwyte Blackrain excited, "Of course,I need a control subject, that one will do." I'm going out back with a covered dish and turning over some rocks."
[17:58] Montwyte Blackrain points to the table, "There's powdered salt, and I was going to beg you for a lump of grave dirt. Back soon."
[17:59] Montwyte Blackrain turned to see her undressed and set the dish down, "Centipedes can wait."
[18:02] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) had began to move towards her satchel of alchemicals and looked back at him with a wry smile " Are you sure? Don't want to interrupt your research..."
[18:04] Montwyte Blackrain swallowed and looked doorward and to her, and back again. Dumbly
[18:07] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) smiled quickly as she moved back towards the chaise, taking the pipe with her. She curled up on the lounge and took a long drag off the pipe before passing it towards Montwyte.
[18:09] Montwyte Blackrain sat calmly and took the pipe, drawing an excessive hit, eyes moving from the wife to the crock dish, boy like hunting bugs, "Well, they will likely be there later, ......it'll keep them fresh. " He seemed unsure.
[18:11] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) exhaled a stream of smoke towards the ceiling, she coughed once and smiled, "Maybe you should collect the insects. I don't see myself going anywhere any time soon and I find the spell work rather interesting."
[18:12] Montwyte Blackrain lit a lantern quickly and reacquired the dish and cover, smiling on the way out back.
[18:15] Montwyte Blackrain made his way out behind the manor and set the lantern down by some loose bricks embedded in the moss beside the foundation. Turning them over he inspected the crawling and scurrying residents for centipedes.
[18:18] Montwyte Blackrain found one lone centipede, good enough for a test copy. It was herded into the dish and hurried back inside. He almost forgot the lantern with wife and magic on the brain.
[18:21] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) was taking another hit off the pipe when Montwyte stepped back into the room, " Did you get what you needed?"
[18:24] Montwyte Blackrain shook the crock and the armored occupant could be heard bouncing around inside. He then placed the two strawberries on a dish and began mixing salt, grave dirt, "Almost", a splash of storm water from a flask made a gritty earthy lump. The centipede was popped inside a ball of wax with a hole and sealed over.
[18:28] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) sat upright and leaned forward.watching him experiment with the spell theory.
[18:30] Montwyte Blackrain smiled to Angeline, "You keep me inspired." Montwyte moved the fresh spell copy where he could see it. He might later choose to study it to memory, but for now he'd have to cast from text in the old style.
[18:34] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) smiled slowly and said nothing, content to watch him as he set about his task at hand.
[18:38] Montwyte Blackrain moved the tray close and sprinkled a square made of salt around one strawberry, tracing tiny glyphs in the salt with a pinky nail until he'd embellished each side. Raising the medallion, his focus, he gazed into the spell seal and went a little insane. Wax, salt , grave dirt , and centipede sublimated into vapor in his palm when the chant was begun.
[18:41] Montwyte Blackrain: " I bear a mystic sigil and dare to implore the horrors and ancients of the abyss. Give leave of this marked fruit to be spared the rampage of putrefaction and rust, the uncertainty of hungry chaos, and the cruel hand of time itself. Upon the sixth day the balance shall be repaid if these offerings are found unsuitable. I declare , so let it be done. "
[18:43] Montwyte Blackrain The space around the strawberry dimmed for a second, nothing flashy or too suspicious. The other components leaving in a puff of gas was more impressive, and not good enough for stage magic even.
[18:48] Montwyte Blackrain felt the discharge of mana from within, recently charged by the excessive intoxication that was imbibed and smoked at the Yule party. A simple spell was taxing for an initiate and he felt a little tired, "Now we wait, it that one doesn't rot until next friday evening we have a workable spell, done in OND format so you can learn it as well."

[18:52] Angeline Blackrain (niobe.flux) shivered as she felt a ripple of magick brush along her senses. " Wonderful news, It will be exciting to see how it turns out."
