Ivory Orchid Pavilion

Cost: 20 motes
Target: Conjured pavilion

The sorcerer weaves her Essence into the shape of a gleaming white orchid bud as she sings the last stanza of Welcome to the Highest, the song that least gods sing silently to herald the arrival of an Incarna. As the song ends, the sorcerer raises her hands and claps them overhead. The blossom unfolds around her into a magnificent palace, ornately carved and pillared, smelling of orchids. This wondrous pavilion can entertain up to (Essence x 100) guests in high style. Gods find themselves at ease, for the pavilion radiates an aura that feels like Yu-Shan. This aura also puts most mortals in a state of awe.

The building itself is crafted of pale, translucent ivory through which the light of the sun and moon diffuses. It holds the finest furniture, silk curtains and bedding, with tables laden with fresh fruits, nuts and bowls of wine that never run empty. The ivory walls are thin, however (Soak 5L/5B, Health Levels 3/10).

The Ivory Orchid Pavilion lasts for 24 hours before it crumbles to white orchid petals. For five years after the spell is cast, white orchids grow on that location. Countermagic can destroy the pavilion, and it burns easily, though its size is such that flame takes several minutes to engulf the entire structure.
