So, for example, if you have final skill 18 and the enemy has will 16 you can turn that to final skill 16 and effective will 12. It is quite a bit better a return than 'deceptive attack', and has the added advantage of being a quick contest. With that said- I am just defending my thought about it violating the rule of 16, I am not challenging the ability to inflict the penalty, because Ghostdancer did balancing and play-testing on it and found it to be workable. |

I don't know if I'd allow it outside of a very carefully balanced RPM. Afterall, Incantation Gift limits things like damage and that keeps issues like "I hit him with 20d direct damage and he takes a -10 to his roll to resist."

Again, I trust your balance methodology in incantation to keep things from breaking- and the incantation gift as a limiter on total effect works really well to keep things from getting out of control in edge cases like they do in regular RPM (Like having 150 loyal disciples being willing to sacrifice themselves willingly, allowing the skill 15 caster to erase an entire continent) |

So, to be clear: "Can I use Bestows a Penalty to make my spell harder to resist?" RPM: No. IM: Yes.

In the context of the "two-buff" rule, what is considered a buff? Is a ward a buff? Is a detect magic spell a buff?

Buffs are essentially anything that uses Bestows a Bonus or otherwise enhances the capabilities of the target in some way. For example, increasing the target's ST or adding DR is a buff, detecting magic would just be a normal spell - as would a ward.

But a spell that let's the caster detect magic all day by sight or a ward cast on a person to protect them would be a buff, right?

For the first, it depends. I'd probably say "Yes." The second, no. Wards are just regular spells even though they protect the way they do.
