| Description: | Through intense study and concentration, the Holy Mage learns to build upon what they have learned from Meraud's Gift. The Persistence of Mana spell will allow him to rend apart the normal boundaries of his magical prowess, extending those horizons to new heights. The process is painful and taxing upon his concentration, but the rewards are quite bountiful -- as long as the spell remains in effect, his capacity to harness mana will be bolstered. | |

| Example Messaging: | You gesture your arms in a wide arc, slowly bringing your hands together to steeple your fingers.
The mental strain of this pattern is considerably eased by your ritual focus. A searing pain spreads through your fingertips, washing up through your arms until it burns through every vein in your body. Your vision goes black, yet you feel no respite from the torturous pain. The pain bores deeper into your body, the energy of your spell carving into your nervous system like molten knives. You feel the horizons of your magical senses being torn asunder, stretched beyond their normal bounds. Your spell finally takes full shape, and a vast aural emptiness blots out the pain as quickly as it had come. Your magical senses tingle, your ability to sustain the fatigues of spellcasting heightened. Slowly you relax the pose of your hands, allowing the cramping muscles a moment of serenity. | |

Ritual spells may require the use of a ritual focus.
The magical feat Improvised Rituals is required for use of universal ritual focii such as the slender alabaster staff with a silver cobra coiled along it.
Limited use foci such as the pale blue-lacquered inkwell can be used to cast Persistence of Mana without knowledge of the Improvised Rituals magical feat.
There is a small stun (approximately 7-10 seconds) that accompanies this spell, along with some atmospheric messaging that you have to wait for. As expected with a ritual spell, make sure you have some measure of safety when going to cast it.
Lasts about 30 minutes at minimum cast.
