Are you buffing yourself, or someone else? If it's someone else (or really, the
choice of someone else), it's an Affliction.

The base is one minute. For afflictions, it is one minute per margin of success from the sorcerer's Quick Contest. This is usually changed with Fixed Duration, which makes it 3 x the base period (1 minute). Then Reduced and Extended Duration changes it from there.
