Does the Brick take the better of the two, are the two IT:DR numbers added or multiplied, or does his own IT:DR go up a level to /10? (Obviously the Scrapper is glad to have the increase in case he accidentally grabs aggro.)
Likewise, is "Cannot stack from multiple castings" a +0% Feature or a -5% Nuisance Effect?

By conventional Gurps theory Traits stack when they come from different sources.
So if the brick's Powers have a "Magical" source the answer in "no" but if the Powers are "Cosmic" the answer would be "yes" (and they'd multiply)
This is in line with an answer Kromm once gave about Armor Divisors where I would ahve (at first) followed varyon's logic about sliding the level upward..
"Cannot benefit from multiple castings" is 0%. Even by itself the fact that you're calling them both "castings" puts them both in the "Magic" category.
