okay. How would you rule something like that? because it specifically says in YS pg 302
--- Quote ---Later in Harry’s career, the staff is
seen assisting with Hellfire-based fire evocation,
likely adding it as an “element”.
--- End quote ---
actually looking at that again i could see it possibly being the "Fire" it added as an element. Is that how you would have ruled it?

Yep. :)
And, while I'd need to re-read Dead Beat I actually think I disagree, I don't think we ever see it help with Fire, we see it help with Hellfire-charged Spirit Evocations for the most part, which are kinda already within it's sphere of effect.

This is definitely the case, in my opinion. Hellfire with the staff is always "Forzare," "Fuego." I just read Proven Guilty, the book with the highest incidence of fire magic, hell- or otherwise, and he uses Hellfire-imbued force attacks.
Archmage_Cowl:
Hey Deadman i was wondering if i might request a more accurate version of Maeve. I know we dont see a whole lot of what she can do and dont know much about her, but i'm curious to see how you would peg one of the lady's powers. (i know they would be majorly tough but i figure they are just inside the statable level)
Deadmanwalking:
Sure, if you like. And yeah, the Ladies aren't even Senior Council level (though they approach it). They're very stattable. In fact, here she is:
Name: Maeve
Aspects:
High Concept: The Winter Lady
Other:
Cruel and Vindictive;
Party Girl;
My Whim Is Your Command;
More Power Than Smarts;
Skills:
Superb: Conviction, Deceit, Lore, Resources,
Great: Athletics, Guns, Intimidation, Weapons,
Good: Contacts, Discipline, Endurance, Presence,
Fair: Alertness, Might, Rapport, Scholarship,
All other skills are Average.
Stunts:
Takes One To Know One (Deceit)
Sex Appeal (Rapport)
Riposte (Weapons)
Powers:
Inhuman Mental Toughness [-2]
Supernatural Senses (Strange Senses) [–1]
The Sight [-1]
Greater Glamours [–4]
Marked by Power [–1]
Inhuman Strength [-2]
Supernatural Speed [–4]
Supernatural Toughness [–4]
Inhuman Recovery [-2]
The Catch [+3] is cold iron and the like, as well as trappings of Summer.
Evocation [-3]
Thaumaturgy [-3]
Unseelie Magic [–2]
Refinement [-7]
Total: -36 Refresh
Specialties:
Evocation: Elements (Air, Spirit, Water); Power (Air +3, Spirit +1), Control (Air +4, Spirit +2)
Thaumaturgy: Control (Unseelie Magic +2); Complexity (Unseelie Magic +3); Crafting (Strength +1)
Focus Items:
Ring of Air [+2 Offensive Control with Air]
Enchanted Items:
Winter Mail [Block 8 or Armor Value 4, three times per session] (4 Item Slots)
Stress:
Mental: OOOO(OO) (+1 Mild Consequence)
Physical: OOOO(OOOO)
Social: OOOO
Armor: 2 vs. physical stuff, 1 vs. mental stuff, otherwise by spell or item effect.
Here she is, right around an 8 Shift Evocation specialist, among other things, and a deadly, deadly, creature.
Unseelie Magic is a perfectly valid thematic Specialty for Thaumaturgy.
Her magic is her own, hence the Evocation and Thaumaturgy. Also, it let her get Specialties.
She's a bit more combative than Aurora was, or than Lily is likely to be, but significantly worse at the social thing.
And, post Cold Days...I'd say she's not quite as good in a physical fight, and better at manipulation than I thought. Also, she uses guns as readily as melee weaponry. Stats adjusted accordingly.
EDIT: Added Inhuman Mental Toughness.
