Increasing Magery and retoractively applying its bonuses?
I'm allowing one of my players to progressively increase his magery rating if they achieve certain qualifying events in a supers game.
The question is, should the increase retroactively apply to spells they already know? |

Yes. Increasing a talent or magery always increases the bonus applied to already known skills.

Yes it applies. Magery is a Talent, so it acts a modifier to the Basic Attribute when determining skill levels. Raising a Basic Attribute increases all skills that hang off that, increasing a Talent increases the modifier.
It would be pretty rough to increase DX and then not be any better at your primary weapon skill. |

As mr beer's description suggests, there's not really anything retroactive about it either.
You never buy absolute skill levels.

Re: Increasing Magery and retoractively applying its bonuses?
Retroactive would be "I cast a spell and then raised my magery, and thus the skill level of the spell I had already cast increased". Which doesn't happen, but other than enchantments you don't generally have any spells that last long enough for that to matter.
