can you have a time spent modifier on concept roll?

I was wondering if this could be spent on a concept roll. Specifically, inventing an enchantment for a new spell. The prerequisite count is really high (23) and I need all the help I can get. The spell in question is "solidify cloud" which is a step up from "cloud walking". It's for the building of cloud cities like I talked about a while back on the forums.

Time spent modifiers on page 346.

Also, if anyone has ideas to help along a concept roll please let me know. So far I've thought of the Visualization advantage, and lots of thaumatology.

No, because a concept roll doesn't technically take any time. You roll once per day to see if you get a flash of genius, but it's not like it's an activity with a fixed time of 8 hours, or 24 hours, or anything like that.
