Junctures

A Juncture is a regularly occurring time of mystical significance during which all mages to whom that event is significant are able to refresh their Avatars' supply of Quintessence. There is no limit to the number of mages who can benefit from a Juncture, but each mage cannot make use of a Juncture more than once per manifestation. Each manifestation of a Juncture lasts one hour unless otherwise noted. Overlapping Junctures are cumulative, so the New Year Juncture after a 150 day long month of Chaos would provide up to 15 points of Quintessence at midnight, and a mage born at midnight on the first day of the year could, in theory, glean 21 points of Quintessence.
