Everything

To make it more difficult for other mages to use Time Effects in a mage’s vicinity, Time 2 can also “thicken the walls of time.” In this case, each success scored by the caster subtracts one success from the other mage’s attempts.

Unlike most uses of the time Sphere, this Effect is coincidental for the first five successes; after that, however, the “thickened” flow of local chronology starts creating weird localized quirks in the timestream: clocks stutter, a sense of “slow motion” creeps into localized activities (slurring words, slowing movement, and so on), and a feeling of heaviness falls over everyone in the area. Such quirks are easy to miss in isolated areas or wilderness where “time seems to stand still.” Around “fast-paced” localities, however (cities, parties, highways, etc.), this phenomenon can be spotted by the average person. Combined with the feat’s distortion of the normal flow of time, these quirks render the “thickening” effect vulgar after the first five successes.
