Purpose Yet Written

This spell is a part of the Crystal Ball spell chain and is found in the Crystal Ball rune stone.

The future is not finished. This is something the posteramancer understands more deeply than most. What has not yet happened is not fixed, that the pages ahead are genuinely blank, that the story being written right now is still being written. Fate sees the shape of things to come, sees the paths most likely to be walked, but even Fate acknowledges that until a moment arrives it has not yet been decided. The purpose has not yet been written. Which means, for a window of time, it can be written deliberately.

When this spell is cast the posteramancer reaches through Fate into the immediate future of the target and shapes it, not dramatically, not with the heavy hand of someone rewriting destiny wholesale, but with the subtle touch of someone who knows that small changes early become large changes later. Fate leans forward and pays closer attention to this person for the duration, the future bending very slightly toward their growth, their development, their becoming more of what they are meant to be.

For 1d10 hours the target gains double experience points from everything they do - every battle, every skill use, every meaningful moment that would normally teach them something teaches them twice as much. The future that was always going to include their growth simply arrives a little sooner, Fate nudging what was always going to be written into being written now. The posteramancer finds this deeply satisfying. They already knew this person was going to become something remarkable. They simply helped it along. The posteramancer of course would never cast this for themselves, they already know all they need to know.
