Anytime it was reasonable to assume mist might be around, they automatically succeeded at stealth — no-one will notice a patch of mist on a misty day! But if they wanted to smother someone in mist, or swarm up the side of a building, they would have to spend.Worked very nicely. Tying the aspect to a skill makes it more focused and helped me as a GM know the expected use of the magic.</blockquote>
