[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 2349167, member: 94"] Well, some folks make take you to mean that sum is greater than the parts. They really [i]do[/i] taste great together, you know? The usual game effect of spells with a duration in hours is that you cast them and forget them: they're likely to last until dispelled or the party retreats to rest. The number of times that a spell whose duration is measured in hours is actually likely to expire in a critical situation (such that the actual, careful book-keeping of their duration is necessary) approaches zero. So on the whole, the book-keeping effect of a Mark spell is about the same as a Mindset spell, with the significant difference that a Mark spell doesn't introduce a new mechanic (ie, a spell which has an effect when it is prepared as opposed to when it is actually cast). The new mechanic of a Mindset spell is actually a significant departure from the well-established "laws" of D&D magic. [/QUOTE]
