Is it a power-up? I've never seen an ogre PC, so I haven't really noticed.

But yet you're willing to class an entire category of spells as Metabolic Hazards when only a few actually affect a creatures metabolism?
I'd be more willing to rework the entire spell system so that it makes sense. I am hoping the DFRPG addresses some of these issues.

Where are they defined as Metabolic Hazards? I get defined as "only affects the living", but that is a horse of a different color...
"Metabolic hazards" as a category of Resistance are defined as those things that only affect the living, Body Control spells are defined as only affecting the living, therefore they are definitely part of the set of things that only affect the living, ergo they are part of the set of "metabolic hazards". It may not be the intent, but it is pretty straightforward.

Maybe it is asking Kromm time?
