Belmonte:
Here's a question.  The grappler (mundane) has to maintain it every round.

Does a caster?  I lean towards no, but Orbius doesn't say.  Or in other words, is the spell fire and forget?  Well, doesn't maintain it in that he doesn't spend an action.  He still has to spend shifts towards exchanges.

iago:
I'd follow the logic of an ongoing spell effect as outlined elsewhere in the chapter: YS252 suggests 1 shift of power gets you +1 exchange of persistence.  So you want to lock someone down for a few exchanges, you'll need to establish both the strength of the effect (the equivalent Might result) and how long you want it to run for.

--- End quote ---

He suffers an effect if it makes sense to you and your group that he should suffer an effect in the fiction. Intent precedes mechanics. I can't emphasize it enough.

When someone's actions are constrained by an aspect, it's called a compel.
