Magic Issues

[Grimolde]

Does this look right to you?

Assuming a Grimoire skill of 73% (round up to 8 ), and a Manipulation of 53% (round up to 6):

Casting Enhance Dex with all manipulation into Duration costs 2 Magic Points, gives you +16 Dex, and lasts for POW x7 minutes.

Is the Magic Point expenditure correct?

In the above, Duration is affected, but does this cost a single magic point to affect Duration, or should it cost 6 magic points, because 6 points of Manipulation equals POW x7 minutes as far as Duration goes?

 

[Simulacrum]

The first is correct. However I imagine there are a lot of house rules on offer around this, as RAW assumes Magic Points to be a carefully husbanded resource but still allows a sorcerer to push out quite a few spells in the course of an adventure unless multiple manipulations are being applied (which is, in fairness where it can get interesting).
