Omnimancer / Omnimancy sounds presumptuous enough. Though Alienist or Yogmancer should also work fine...

Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth...
...Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate, whereby the spheres meet.
"
Through the Gates of the Silver Key" (1934) by Lovecraft and E. Hoffmann Price said:
It was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self — not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence's whole unbounded sweep — the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names...

:) No, nor Ducttapeomancy.

According to teh intarweb, "interstices" are indeed the things between things, be they physical things or temporal events.

This branch of magic is meant to deal with effects like teleportation, time stop, time hop, haste, slow -- the same sorts of things that the psionic discipline Psychoportation encompasses, but with a better name.

Thanks, -- N

Psychoportation sounds like a better way of saying, "driving someone crazy." :)
 

Spam Magic? :)

Interstitials in web terminology are those ads that pop up before you're allowed to go to the web page that you actually want to visit. So when I read the thread title I saw wizards having to click through mystic sigils to get their spells to take effect. Which in turn reminded me of a 2E cursed magic item called the Ring of Bureacratic Wizardry, which had all the powers of a regular Ring of Wizardry but you had to fill out a form in triplicate before casting any spell, causing them to take three times as long to cast. I at one point actually found a file with a form for someone to fill out for the Ring.... :)
 


In Mage: the Ascension, they have a sphere of magic that's very similar to what you're describing called Correspondence. Rolls off the tongue a bit easier than interstices or transtitial.
