Looking for feedback on this one... not super confident on cost, duration, IQ level, etc.

IQ 14 - Enlarge/Reduce (T)

This spell will temporarily alter the size of any being or non-magical object no more than one hex in size. The ‘enlarge’ aspect of the spell doubles the target’s size and weight while ‘reduce’ will decrease the target’s size and weight by half.

When cast on a non-magical inanimate object, the change will last 5 minutes and costs 5 ST. When cast on a living being, however, the effect will only last 5 turns. Cost is 5 ST if the wizard casts the spell on themselves or 10 ST if cast on another. If the target creature is unwilling, they must succeed on a 5-die saving roll vs IQ.

Casting ‘enlarge’ on a living being has the following effects…
  • Increase to a 2-hex creature and doubles in height and weight (6ft tall becomes 12ft)
  • Doubles the creature’s effective ST for physical strength-based uses such as weight carried, HTH damage, size of weapon they can use, etc. This boost to ST does not add to the hits that the creature can take or grant additional fatigue for spells.
  • Decrease in mobility and physical dexterity (-2 DX), but greater stride adds 4 to MA

Casting ‘reduce’ on a living being has the following effects…
  • Decrease to a half-hex creature and shrink in height and weight (6ft tall becomes 3ft)
  • Halves the creature’s effective ST for physical strength-based uses such as weight carried, HTH damage, size of weapon they can use, etc. This change does not decrease the hits that the creature can take or deduct from fatigue for spells.
  • Increase in mobility and physical dexterity (+2 DX), but reduced stride subtracts 4 from MA

Any non-magical equipment worn by the recipient will also double in size for the duration of the spell, but worn magical items that are based on the creature’s size (armor, rings, boots, etc.) will cause the spell to fail unless removed beforehand.
