Simple and Complicated Moments
Rote · Mage
For simple tasks – like making an entrance, speaking a timely remark, juggling objects, and so forth – this sense of timing simply requires Time 1.
More complex or insightful tasks – that is, tasks that require a deeper understanding of complex interactions before that perfect moment becomes obvious – may also include:
• Correspondence 1 (to spot “the right place at the right time”) or 3 to be there at “just the right place and time”; or…
• Entropy 1 (in order to note probabilities) or 2 (to shift those probabilities to that perfect moment); or…
• Forces 1 (to time one’s actions to the flow of energies) or 2 (to manipulate those energies to match the timing); or…
• Life 1 (to sense the presence of other beings, and to note their overall state of health and openness to “the right move”); or…
• Mind 2 (in order to “read” another being’s moods) or 3 (to read their thoughts, and thus sense when the audience is most open to “the perfect thing at the perfect time”); or…
• Matter 1 (to spot flaws in a material object); or…
• Prime 1 (to “catch the flow” of sublime energy currents) or 3 (to steer them toward that perfect moment); or…
• Spirit 1 (to note the “spirit of the time” in order to address it best).
