House Rules - Clarifications

Spells, Duration and Magic Resistance

• If a spell is resisted, the caster gets no direct indication - although if expected flames do not appear it is likely the spells was resisted!
  Conversely, a target which resists a spell is made aware of the attempt, but if they fail they do not notice (apart from the flames leaping up around them!)
• All spells that directly affect a target are resisted by the Parma Magica, except for spells cast with Range: Personal.
• Intellego spells that only touch the external image (or similar) to not need to penetrate the target, and will always reveal their information (successful Magic Resistance informs the target of the spell);
  Intellego spells that pry within must penetrate Magic Resistance or reveal "nothing".
• Spells with duration other than Concentration or Ring cannot be cancelled, even by the caster, except by the use of subsequent magics (e.g. Perdo Vim) - unless specifically designed into the spell. [Few spells have such design, and they may require casting tools, such as the Skin required for Shape of the Woodland Prowler.]
• Items enchanted with effects of Range: Personal affect the Item only: an item effect must have Range of at least Touch to affect its wearer.
  An exception covers e.g. tattoos such as Criamon Imprints, where the Person and the Tattoo are one.
