Reverse/Advance

Reverse allows the mage to reverse spell effects. For example, if a fireball is being thrown at the party, the mage may reverse the Create portion of the spell so the fireball reduces down to nothing, or reverse the Project portion of the spell so that it returns back to the caster. A mage may also use this spell effect to reverse anything that should be able to be reversed, such as someone’s walk (to make them walk backwards), a fire (to make it revert back to before it was lit, essentially putting it out), or even a Life, causing the target to grow younger. These powerful effects should be severely limited, and the mage may even have to practice Time Magic for the GM to allow it. In many cases, the GM might have to come up with a creative way to guage spell point usage, but if the reversal is just for a spell, then the mage only needs to raise enough points to match the effort of the other mage. Thus, if the other mage put ten spell points into his spell, you might raise ten to completely undo his spell, or five to reduce it to half-power.
Advance allows a mage to advance a spell effect. A common use of this spell might be to make a spell that is negatively effecting his party run its duration out, but the mage could also use this spell effect to advance anything which might be able to be advanced. See some of the examples in the Reverse spell effect, but remember once again that such a powerful effect may require that the GM keep on top of the law of equivalent exchange, and the GM may even require that the mage have Time as one of his Spheres of Magic in order to cause such an effect. The spell point cost for increasing a spell would be the spell point cost of the spell as it is plus the amount it would take to put it to where the mage wants it to be. For example, if five points were cast to make a ball of energy one foot in diameter, the mage must cast six points in order to increase it to two feet (the original five points plus the one it would have taken to make it an extra foot larger)
