Weaving Parameters & Spell Modification on the fly:
Note: Effect & Parameter Modification can be combined, but any spell can be weaved with modified parameters.
Effect modification on the fly:
- In contrast to Spell modification - Stable, this is a more risky, less stable option.
- In a pinch, without preperation time or when a situation calls for extreme actions, it can be a viable, yet potentially dangerous solution.
Examples:
- Adding an explosion and and “homing” to a fireball is a modification.
- Transforming a fireball into a rain of fire or firestorm is an Invention, not a modification.
Process:
- Choose the temporary enhancements for the spell, this can include further levels in the base advantage
- Add a -1 penalty to the roll for every 10% added this way
- Add 1 Energy to the base cost of the spell for every 10% added this way
- In essence the result is a technique, but it can never be learned above default
- The viability of such modifications is up to GM-approveal
