The Force prepares itself or the terrain around it via a series of rituals, gaining +3 Advantage and a +30% Combat Strength Bonus. This effect lasts until it finishes a combat engagement, leaves the Region it is currently located in, or the end of the next Round of Downtime, whichever happens first. If the Mage Cadre Force is Reinforcing another Force when combat occurs, the benefits of this action are applied to the entire allied side in that conflict.
