Thanks!

It was in the thread on Mirror sponsored magic. Re-reading it, what you actually said was that clearing stress just wasn't much of a thing in this system, and I interpreted it.


--- Quote ---Would the Discipline roll also be halved in effect?
--- End quote ---

Yes.


--- Quote ---If the roll is halved in effect as well, I think you could get away with it as a 1-Refresh Power. Halving is a pretty huge penalty.

Thanks!


--- Quote ---Of course, as long as you're halving things, it might make sense just to halve the power as well instead of capping it at Conviction.

It's more a narrative thing. Using magic usually deals stress, and the more you use, the more stress you have to deal with. I think it makes more sense that, in order to avoid getting stress, you have to limit how much power you call and keep it under better control; rather than call more power and just control it normally, but have it just be less effective.
