Any spells that would allow a mage to breathe while buried alive?

Question

If a mage were buried alive for whatever reason - whether deliberate as some part of a gambit of sorts or not so deliberately via accident or attack - does there exist any specific magic or uses of magic, that would allow them to survive buried and avoid what should be a rapid suffocation for an extended period of time?

I have a suspicion some skill with the Forces sphere with it's manipulation of elements might have potential on this front, but as a whole I'm not entirely certain.

Any disciplines and potential ways would do good for an answer to this question.

Answer 1

The simplest way is through Life 3 (Alter Self), changing the way the mage's lungs take in air, or through Matter 2, turning the carbon dioxide exhaled back into oxygen.

Answer 2

Some ways to survive to being buried alive could imply some effects of (including the examples in @Jadasc's answer)

• Time 3 / Life 3 to enter in state of suspension (How do you do that, page 113).

• Time 3 / Correspondence 4: Bind a location (the coffin) into stasis (ibid.).

• Correspondence 3: Teleport outside the burial site (How do you do that, page 77).

• Correspondence 4: Create some kind of stable portal to take inside fresh air (How do you do that, page 79).

• Life 3: Change your body to be able to breath CO2.

• Life 2: Slow down your metabolism to breath only once every several minutes.

• Matter 2: Transform CO2 into breathable oxygen.
