Okay, Control (Psi) lets you add a level to a power per 10 full levels of Control. Control with Natural Phenomena allows you to add +1 or -1 effects every three levels. I figure the first level lets you give a bonus to gathering rolls, the second lets you reduce a the Greater effects multiplier by 1, two by two (effectively removing one Greater effect). Ive used this in my last couple of game sessions and it feels about right in game. Langy is free to do it his way! He's the GM, if he says it works that way, then it does. I think its two generous. Two levels of Control (Specific Ritual) equal two levels of Magery (Ritual Path) - which allow him to ignore a Greater effect for one ritual. That could have a Archimedes-like effect if you pick the right ritual. I'll look at this thread again in the morning and see if anything shakes loose, I've fried my brain writing all day (something like 10,000 words) so I might be seeing this wrong. Regardless, that's the method I've been using.
