The Phantom Fortress

A small granite hammer that, when taped upon the ground, creates a huge, circular tower, used by tremere magi as temporary fortresses. Its shape made it easy to cast circular wards on it, thus strengthening the tower against all kind of menaces. While very popular around the corruption of House Tytalus, they fell in disregard during the schism war, save as decoys for Diedne magi. Following breakthroughs in Rego Vim magics in 1124, their usefulness is being reevaluated, and their possible use reintroduced in doctrina.

Not unlike "Conjuring the Mystic Tower", this spell creates a tower big enough to house magi and their servants. Unlike that spell, however, the tower is cruder, more designed for war than anything else, and its design can't be customised.
