Durations are going to be tricky when we combine seeds; but I think that to aggregate [slay] and [afflict] would work.
I'm proceeding on the basis that an aggregate creates an "irrational parameter" in the spell - in this case, duration. I'm wondering if that when you aggregate two seeds, both should incur their full Spellcraft Prerequisite cost; as opposed to regular compounding, where only the base seed counts its full value.
There is a point where we're going to have to start writing lots of new rules to cover ideas like this. There is also a point where the reader has to be trusted to make the right balance choices; spells involving more than one seed are going to test this, however we approach it. We can't cover every contingency - we can only demonstrate by example.
