I couldn't find this one answered elsewhere in the forum...
I notice on GT:RPM p. 10, under
Strengthen Magic the following passage:
Lesser Strengthen Magic can oppose an attempt to cancel a spell, or enhance a spell’s ability to punch through a ward (pp. 24-25) or similar “anti-magic shield.”
This sounds like a violation of
Stacking Spells, rule 3 (GT:RPM p. 15). I could add a
Bestows Penalty to the Path Skill for the ward's QC. Isn't that just the flip side of
Bestows Bonus to **my** Path Skill (which is strictly forbidden)?
I'm aware of the
Medicine Bag,
Resist Magic, and
Sorcerous Mark spells, but they work more passively.
If you know that there is a spell ward up, how would you modify your spell to "punch through" the spell ward without violating the Stacking Spells rules?
In any case, adding an extra
Lesser Strengthen Magic[3] plus a
Bestows Penalty (-2 Narrow)[2] seems to be too cheap of a way to break through a
Spell Ward.
