across the universe! Or at least between the planets. It's not hard these days to get high quality reasonably recent photos of the planets, especially the surfaces of the Moon and of Mars. These are valid sympathetic Yantras, according to page 122. So, my question is how, without Space 5, one might establish a sympathetic link to the planet?

Around 120 pieces of known martian rocks exists on the Earth. Results of meteorites hitting Mars with such force that some martian debris reach escape velocity, and some of that debris has managed to hit the Earth.
These samples might've lost Sympathy to their original place (if they had any, considering that Sympathy seems to be built on top of meaningful interactions) but Web-Weaver cast with Temporal Sympathy (with a photo of Mars being a good Yantra) could remedy that regardless of its original Sympathetic Connections.

I'm not sure how Web-Weaver would help in restoring the lost sympathy. Neither would Space 5 be too helpful, since targetting a Planet likely goes way beyond any scale factor you can manage. (Maybe with some good equipment and some forces you can get enough resolution to target a neighborhood sized area on the surface of a planet though? Maybe.)

Fire a projectile you have sympathy to, at whatever you want to get to, with a conditional duration Temporal Pocket on it, which will end when it reaches its target. Possibly with Forces course-correction.
You will instantaneously (bar something being in the way/stopping it) have an item, on whatever you want to get to, that you have a Sympathetic Connection to.
Then proceed to Co-Locate your way between planets/meteors/moon-bases/etc.
All at the bargain price of Time 5, and Space 3.
*edit*
Or if you want to do it the hard/weird way, find someone/something which has a real connection to whatever you want to get to, steal their link, and use that to jump there. It's possible the representations of the planets in the Axis Mundai have a sympathetic connection to their meat-space equivalents.
Alternatively, perhaps the light from distant stars is 'real-time' enough to count as if not Sensory Range, but Remote Casting?Last edited by HerbertIsBestBert; 09-13-2018, 12:53 AM. Reason: Additional options more fitting to the original question

With force and time magic you could reach mars very rapidly
Propulsion: Forces, with assists from Space and Time.
Life-Support: Matter (for air), Forces (for radiation shielding, generating gravity, generating heat, getting rid of heat), Life (for food). Or, oddly, Death (don't need air, food, or heat when your body is playing dead).
Navigation: Probably Fate at the speeds you are going to want to go.

Send it flying in the space, after you leave earth there is no attriction, so every telekinetical push you apply stacks, eventually you reach near light speed.
A trip of fifteen minutes, less with time acceleration.
Of course you will need some sort of navigation system but that s another problem.....

Better to use a Co-Located Drone ship.
