Very important question
if you have Compartmentalized Mind how does that work with charging spells
do you have to wait and only charge your magery each turn or would the mind give you extra maneuvers to charge in the same turn by description in the magic book it says you can only charge once a turn but by base book you only have one mind i would liek and refrences if this was in a faq or something |

Re: Very important question
if you read it it takes a concentrate manuver to charge a spell and the Compartmentalized Mind give you multiple concentrates

Re: Very important question
Correction: Not a Concentrate Maneuver, but a full Mental Maneuver. You can do more than concentrate using a Mental Maneuver.
For purposes of gaming, CMs can be treated as two separate character minds under some conditions. You can concentrate on two spells with a level of CM. Says so specifically in the descriptions. If your skill with the spells is 20 or higher, there is absolutely no reason to consider forbidding casting them on the same turn. Assuming your body has the fatigue to power them. At skill 15-19 in 4th edition (18-21 if you're on 3rd) you may cast a spell with gestures only or speaking only, so if the character can speak and gesture, one mind can gesture the other speak and you cast two on the same turn. At lower skill levels you must devote your body's efforts to casting one spell, as you must speak and gesture. One spell at a time.

Re: Very important question
I think I would rule, off the cuff, that a player could not use his CMs to charge the SAME spell twice, but I would allow him to charge two separate spells at the same time.

Do only I hate it when a tread has a title where you can't see what it is about? :(

Re: Very important question
Seconded. BTW, it's casually mentioned in the Tags thread, but it belongs to the forum rules proper, which I do not control.
