Confusion on my part: I thought the Evocation veil effect was the "Quick Veil", which only lasts one exchange without extra duration shifts.
Tedronai:
By RAW, yes, but with a sidebar recommending otherwise.
I'm away from books right now (and will be for a few days, it seems), or I'd give you a page reference.

Apologies to all for derailing the thread a bit. Back onto the current topic (Sponsored Magics):
Ma’at Magic [-4]
Description: Ma’at was the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. In practice, the concepts of Truth, Order, and Justice prevail as the Goddess Ma’at’s theme.
Sponsor: Ma’at (the personification of Ma’at the concept, and facilitator of "Final Justice" in Duat, the Underworld, where Anubis weighs one's heart against her Feather of Truth)
Agenda: To seek Truth, enforce Order and ensure Justice is done. Those Sponsored by Ma’at are often required to accept requests to mediate situations, like Judges or Viziers.
Evocation: Evocations based on Ma’at tend to be direct and focused. Fallout tends to occur in visibly stilted ways (Accidental fires that spread evenly, items break cleanly, etc.)
Thaumaturgy: Rituals involving Ma’at often make use of precise measurements, use of balance in item placement, well-chosen incantations(preferably in ancient Egyptian), and intricate repetitive gestures.
Evothaum: Ma’at Magic allows its user to cast Divination, Entropomancy, and Conjuration spells with the speed of Evocation.
Extra Benefits: Those Sponsored by Ma’at are gifted with a knack for feeling out the truth in situations, they may choose to use Lore to roll for the Empathy trapping "Reading People", or for the Investigation trapping "Examination". The Sponsored must choose which when affirming his appointment as Ma'at's Favored.
Sanctaphrax:
The rules for evothaum are very vague. Which set of bonuses do you use? How long does it last? I don't think that these questions are ever answered.
And I'm not going to make up for that here.
Ma'at magic looks pretty decent, but it needs some restrictions on what forms of spells may be cast with it.
