Yes, I agree. I agree with the underlying principle here, but I do not think this requires a +1 Part modifier. The Part target specifically refers to physical parts of an individual. The "mind" is not a physical part, and this spell is not literally Muto'ing the "brain" into that of the animal...

Valeria finishes pondering a spell of understanding. Though various methods cross her mind, she ultimately concludes that what she desires isn't feasible within the current bounds of Hermetic magic. And considering her own limitations, she decides it isn't worth the effort to try for something...

OOC: Did the wolf's cry sound like it was just a short ways ahead, or did it sound distant and remote? Valeria will call upon her Magic Lore (creatures) knowledge to see what she knows of these creatures. Also bear in mind Volkmar's Magic Sensitivity (magical creatures), should that come into...

The expedition sets out... With the magi in agreement, orders are given for the expedition to set forth for the village. Volkmar orders Lukas to scout a short distance ahead of the main party, keeping Mattihus close at hand to answer any questions the magi may have, or to provide directions...

Volkmar confers with the magi After the wizards have taken their oaths, Volkmar waits patiently while they gather their personal belongings for the trip and change into more appropriate travelling clothes, and then waits patiently more while they go about casting their ritual of protection...

Actually, Volkmar would have inquired with the magi as to how they want to procede. He is by no means running the show, here. Assuming Mattihus was able to get the map made up, Volkmar would have confered with the magi over it, and advised them of Mattihus's recommendation regarding the local...

After the oaths are taken, Valeria turns her attention towards preparing for the mission. With no display of modesty, she changes into an outfit more suitable for travelling in these forests and amongst the mundane villagers in the area. Onlookers may be surprised to discover that her robes are...

Oh Yes! Houses of Hermes: True Lineages has some really good stuff in it. Let us know as soon as you can what you are willing to allow in the campaign. I have Realms of Power: The Divine, as well, but haven't made the time to read through it very much.

Poor Gasparius It is a 5.

Poor Gasparius My instinct is to kill him off... and then begin the search for another player. There were several responses to your posting on the Delphi forums... did any of those guys ever make contact with you?

Valeria takes an oath "Very well," Valeria says, "the council has spoken." She seems disappointed by the vote against the allotment of vis, but not overly concerned with it. "We must now attend to the other matters set upon our agenda. Let me be the first to make my oath:" "I, Valeria Libidia...

"Very well, Titus," Valeria says. "Gorgamesh... Gasparius... how vote thee?"

Valeria calls for a vote "Yes, Titus, an oath to bind us, and I would be honored to take that oath first. For our vis, let the council decide, but I must stress that if we fail in our mission, we may have no covenant in which to perform our research. Should we go..." she pauses... "naked," she...

Yes, purely for casting, the bonus is only +2 (a significant decrease from the +5 of ArM4), and, in general, I agree, it is more economical to use it for enchanted items, rituals, etc. But, there are times when a +2 can make a world of difference: to get an extra point or two in penetration, to...

It is not an existent spell, but possible under 5th Edition rules: Slaying the Inhabitants of the Castle : PeCo 50 : Ritual R: Touch D: Momentary T: Structure Kills everyone person within a single structure, such as a castle, keep, or manor house. The spell must penetrate Magic...

"Excellent!" Valeria exclaims, clearly delighted with the apparent decision of the council. "Titus, I suggest that you finish your breakfast and gather any personal belongings you feel you will need, that we might be off immediately." She turns back to address the magi as a whole. "We must...

Valeria looks upon Titus with an amused expression. "You have overcome your hesitation quickly enough, dear friend. That is comendable. Decisiveness is a valuable trait in one that would be called leader. Though I would hate to think that your hesitation was feigned; a mere ploy on your part."...

Okay, I now see your logic more clearly. You are approaching from the consideration that we are creating the individual bricks. I was envisioning it like the tower, as simply creating a single mass of stone in the desired shape of the structure. In that light, Group does make sense. Ah, but you...

I took that into consideration... even counting the additional mass for the foundation, I feel the CtMT should only be Size+3, not Size +4. Not that it matters, I am comfortable with it being a level 35 spell and wouldn't expect it to be only a level 30 spell... just arguing the mechanics...

"Indeed, Volkmar," Valeria says, her eyes encompassing the magi around her, "we were just about to make a decision on that very matter." She looks to Titus a moment, evaluating his statements from a moment ago. "Yes, let us decide as a council," she says, returning her attention to all the magi...
