    “That spell is setup to cast itself at exactly midnight, every night, in every monestary in our order. Except the black crater, of course.”

    “Why not at the black crater?”

    “We’re not sure. There wasn’t anyone left to ask.”

      midnight

      Oh no. Do you mean Midnight for each monestary locally, or do you mean when it’s midnight at our prime monestary that it is cast? Three are in the time zone an hour ahead, and seven are an hour behind! They need to happen simultaneously for it to work!

        I’m really liking the idea of the day-to-da experience for a working mage in the magical standards agency responsible for keeping all these things in order. An even more arcane IEEE, if that’s possible.

        Spells extracting energy from another magical system MUST send a request for draw before beginning extraction. High-capacitance spells SHOULD respond to all requests with positive authorization if sufficient capacity exists, but MUST reply in some way.
