− | ::: Depends. Lets take the healing first. This is instant, to a point. I will probably have to put limits on what can be healed with a charm (i.e. a spells of one) without maintainance, with more significant healing requiring power (i.e. spells of three). Once the healing is complete, it is permanent, and need not be maintained. But there is a minimum amount of time it will take to heal serious wounds, which can occur before, during, or after casting. If person has a pelvis fractured into a hundred pieces, for example, it's going to take several minutes to heal this, regardless of the spell you cast. Human to frog? Probably not possible at all; were you planning on trying this? Build a boulder into a bridge...maintained, if the bridge itself was not a stable structure. However, if the bridge was completely stable, it would not need to be maintained. Making a weakling into a body builder...this is a very good one. I'm thinking there are two ways of doing this. Way #1 is maintained, and much simpler. In Way #1 you are not REALLY altering the musculature of the person, you are just "strengthening them". Way #2 is more like healing, and would require words ike "alter", "strength", "flesh", "heal" etc. Using these words, you COULD make a permanent change in a person's strength, up to the 10 limit.

− | I skimmed over the sorcery rules since Sunday's game. Here is a list of the other things I did wrong.
| |
− | 1. Meditation can only be used for spells of many. Failure does not change the target number.
| |
− | 2. Magic sounds are Form vs skill target (not spell target) the skill can be anything from ritual magic to musical instrument. Failure does not change the target number.
| |
− | 3. Magic movements are Form vs skill target (not spell target) the skill can be anything from ritual magic to symbol drawing to dancing. Failure does not change the target number.
| |
− | Bearing these things in mind, would it be possible for me to have increased ritual magic instead of meditation? [[User:Silentdaikyu|Silentdaikyu]] 17:12, 26 September 2006 (PDT)

− | It looks like you can sustain a spell with no dice. This makes sense to me, especially given the fact that there are no constant and dormant spells in this campaign.
| |
− | :Are you sure about this? My understanding was that to maintain a spell you had to set aside CTN-casting successes in dice. Now this could result in 0 dice if the CTN were low and the casting successes were hight, but it would not ALWAYS result in 0 mainantence cost.

− | Mana spells sole purpose is to add spell dice to your pool when you are short and need to cast something immediately. It lasts endurance in rounds so in Peregrine's case he couldn't cast anything with a CTN greater than 6. Of course this would depend on when in the spell it is assumed that the spell pool dice are expended.[[User:Silentdaikyu|Silentdaikyu]] 17:12, 26 September 2006 (PDT)

− | :We'll have to go over these things briefly when both of us have the book in front of us. Hopefully it will be very fresh in your mind and you will be able to quickly explain this to me from the text.[[User:Skalchemist|Skalchemist]] 13:35, 28 September 2006 (PDT)
