Magery : another limitation cost ?
Hi,
I wonder what modifier for this magery limitation : only works when absorbing/exposed to special (rare) substance, for a given period of time (minutes, hours, days ??). What if substance adds drawback effects ? TIA |

Re: Magery : another limitation cost ?
Take a look at the rules for the Nuisance effect and Temporary Disadvantage limitations to see if they can cover the drawback effects you have in mind.

Re: Magery : another limitation cost ?
Also, isn't there limitations like day- and night-aspected? I don't have the books here, so I'm working from memory. If you only need to be in the presence of the substance for the Magery to work, you could possibly model your custom limitation on them.

Maybe it's similar to Environmental or Trigger. Or look at how to build a special Power Modifier in GURPS Powers.

Re: Magery : another limitation cost ?
There was a magic variant using powdered gems introduced in Mad Lands, I think, and included in Thaumatology. That might give you a working example.
