Dalthor's Reservoir Link Formula

E/F/M:

This spell allows a caster to link a subsequent Casting to a Reservoir which will eventually hold Heka to Power that Casting. The Reservoir must already have the Glyphs scribed and ready for the spell and final Heka charge. Once this Casting is activated, the caster has 1 hour to perform the second Casting, the effects of which will be permanently linked to the reservoir. At that point, the Reservoir will be ready for use, needing only to be charged.

For an additional 10 points Heka, the caster may include a Command Word or Phrase that will be the activator for that Casting, up to one word per 10 full STEEP in General Dweomercræft. For example, at 55 STEEP, up to 5 words may be “stored” as the command word/phrase.

For an additional 25 Heka, the caster may include a Trigger (q.v.) effect into the item.

This Formula must be activated once for each Casting that will be linked to the Reservoir. This casting may not be activated again until either a spell is linked, or the Time duration expires.

Finally, note that this Casting does not make the linked Casting permanent in the Reservoir – it can be Dispelled normally. Another

Casting, such as the Permanence Ritual, must be used to protect the Reservoir. See Volume IV for information about making Permanent Magic Items, as well as information on creating Reservoirs.
