Greater create energy +6
Lesser control magic +5
Weight 300 lbs +3 (for effecting self)
Range self +0
(42)
Duration 10 minutes +1
Damage 3d+2 ^, ** +10

^1/2 damage for corrosion/fatigue effect
**triple damage
so final damage is x1.5, or 6d-1
total=25, greater effect = 75

Parts in question underlined and italicized for emphasis.

I'm not sure this is entirely legal - the Damage modifier in RPM specifically states it cannot be combined with Duration.

EDIT: As I saw a suggestion earlier, you might be able to get around this by adding on the damage effects via an Innate Attack with Altered Abilities. I'm not sure how it would be treated as a straight bonus to the damage (if enhancing velocity or mass) , or as a follow-up (such as giving it an incendiary/corrosive/toxic effect).

Additionally, you would have issues with how Follow-up treats modifiers like Increased Range and Rate of Fire.

Honestly, it just sounds like a really kludgey way to do what Imbuements already does. Adapting that to MH would probably be less of a headache.
