In the most severe and esoteric form of spirit-torture, the mage could add Time 3 or 4 to any or all of the attacks above. Time 3 allows the mage to make multiple attacks by giving him extra actions with which to attack; Time 4 locks the spirit in a “bubble of time” where the pain continues until the mage makes it stop or the trigger event occurs. (See Time Distortion and Travel, p. 113.) Again, this is the sort of treatment that tends to forge eternal enmities and bite the mage in ways that no magick can undo.

Although the highest levels of faith, High Ritual, shamanic, necromantic, and Dimensional Science practices contain the secrets of spirit-wracking, a mortal must be VERY certain of his ability to endure the consequences of using them. Such punishment – especially at the hands of some puny human! – creates a lasting grudge. The entity and its allies or underlings will remember such treatment for millennia, and may well serve up some very cold (or devilishly hot) revenge when the mage can least afford such refreshment.
