Hello all! I'm pretty new to the Dresden Files RPG (ran my first session last night) and I'm trying to get my brain around the magic system with a player of mine.

We think the example of "Entanglement" is incorrect. It states that the spell provides 1 scene of action because of the shift put into Duration, but the book says that you can increase the duration of Evocations by one Exchange per shift. If so, that would put the Duration of this spell at 1 Exchange.

Now, if the entanglement were caused by earth or branches etc. then I'd rule that it would remain after the spell itself had finished, leaving the victim needing to Manoeuvre to clear the tag, but as it is it describes a 'band of force' which should surely dissipate in the usual timeframe.

Are we right?
