With FAE Dresden in the works has anyone here implemented Fate core into your Dresden games? I know there is a fan work out there. Has anyone used the fan conversion?

I'd like to steal Vars idea  from http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,24720.0.html

But would like to focus on Spirit magic. Besides Veils what else can we use? Yes it covers mental magics but since that violates one of the laws I'd like too see what else can be done with it. I have a player thats interested in it but we're stumped as to what can be done with it besides veiling and law breaking mind magic.

1. What is a non-combat interesting way to use spirit magic?

2. What is a single target interesting way to use spirit magic?

3. What is an area of effect interesting way to use spirit magic?

4. What is an interesting way to block using spirit magic?

5. What would be an interesting way to impede someones movement with sprit magic?

6.Can you think of anything else that would fit the Dresdenverse and be really neat in a game for spirit magic?

Ok so I've got a group that will be new to the FATE system in general what I need help with is a good list of physical and mental stress that can be used at each: mild, moderate and severe. Just something to help me and them get a good idea of what we can have at each level the more the better.

Here's the current entries:

I don't remember seeing it anywhere but on a characters action can he tag more than one aspect to grant a greater bonus? say there were 3 taggable aspects during his action could he spend 3 FATE points, assuming he has them for a +6 bonus to the roll?

Getting ready to run a DFRPG session and I want to clear something up on tagging. It seems to me that what goes on in FATE as tagging seems counter intuitive to how other games handle situations. And it's probably me misunderstanding how it works. So say one character places an aspect on an opponent BLIND. So other players can "tag" that aspect for free. But it seems to me that whether or not someone tags the aspect that the person blinded should have penalties to their actions? Most other RPG's do. Now after the first round does that mean that now that have to pay a fate point to continue to take advantage of this?

So what am I missing here with tagging aspects?

Ok so I understand the mechanics of the block. But help me understand and visualize it in game play. What are some examples of blocking in combat.

Diving for cover?
Cover fire?

What else?

O I may have missed it in reading somewhere but what about dice roll penalties based on the level and the type of consequence a character has incured. Are ther any guildlines? I was thinking something along the lines of Mild -1, moderate -2 and severe -3. These would not be cumulative.

So I've read most of the rules and I may have missed it. But what about rules for things like poison? or continuous damage? or falling? what about bonuses to things such as hiding in a dark room wouldn't the character get a bonus without having to spend a fate point? say the room is dark enough to give a +1 or +2 surely the player shouldn't have to spend a fate point for a simple enviormental bonus? I could see spending the point to move through the shadows unseen.
