Harness Ability, along with [[TM]], are the only two magic skills that actually scale up to 2,000 ranks at the moment. While the same cannot be said for PM, the cap for PM's effectiveness is still higher than most see.

Description: The sacred pursuit of metamagic was born from experiments into blessing increasingly abstract subjects, such as vocations or times of day. While magic is at its heart neither divine nor "of the soul," its subtle physics have proven more amendable than most subjects to holy manipulation.

Sanctify Pattern was an early fruit from that endeavor. By blessing the subject's capacity for magic, their spell patterns are in turn sanctified and express in their design a fleeting element of the Immortals' wisdom and glory. In practice, this serves to artificially bolster the subject's skills at harnessing and manipulating mana.

Effect: Unknown
Example Messaging: A <alignment color> halo appears briefly around <subject's> head.

MU perspective: Your nerves gently tingle as the spell settles into the interface between your mind and the mana streams.
NMU perspective: Despite the light show, you feel no different afterward.
Barbarian perspective: A reflexive sense of panic and anger rises in your mind as the halo fades.
Indicates bonus described below: You lay your open hand upon <subject's> head, enhancing your focus on the spell with a rote sign of benediction.
<Caster> lays his open palm over your head.

Devices/Tattoos: No devices or tattoos documented.
