Arcane projection

It is possible to create a magical effect without performing a formulaic ritual. Creating an impromptu magical effect is commonly referred to as performing spontaneous magic or less correctly as a spontaneous ritual. Spontaneous magic is difficult and costly, partly because it is not possible to master a spontaneous magic effect as a magician might with a formulaic ritual that is part of Imperial lore. The advantage of spontaneous magic is the wide flexibility it gives a coven or master magician. With it, they can perform unique feats and explore the boundaries of magical theory.
