I also drank too much mulled wine yesterday afternoon: my mind may have been somewhat occluded. It looks like I'm trying to develop a logical argument: really I'm just blurting out stuff from my head before I forget it. However:This assertion is based on the psionic dominate.With full factors: +4 to increase range from close to medium, +4 to make it still and silent, -8 for reducing days to hours, -2 for increasing casting time from 1 action to one round. => This should make the above spell 8th level (SP 20).With half-factors: +2 to increase range from close to medium, +2 to make it still and silent, -4 for reducing days to hours, -1 for increasing casting time to 1 round. => This would make it level 8.5 (SP 21)The problem is the Save DC. Should a factor be included for that, as well? It's implicit in the way that the psionic seed is configured. -4 from 9th level to 7th level? Obviously, it doesn't matter with an epic spell (which is 10th level anyway), but in terms of disparities between root spells, maybe it should.If I were to reconfigure factors to make my half-in-mitigation rule work (including DCs), I would change the duration factor from +8 to +4 (which would mean -2 in mitigation as a half-factor); the factor for increasing casting time from 1 action to 1 round is already a half factor (at -2)You get: +2 to increase range from close to medium, +2 for still and silent, -2 for reducing from days to hours, -2 for increasing casting time, -2 for the DC.No, that's not it. Alas, I have to go to work. I need to think more about this.</blockquote>
