If you had invoked one of the PCs aspects to lower that persons defense roll against the AOE then that person would have gotten it, but if you invoked the NPCs own aspect to raise the attack power or whatever then it just goes away.
Do people allow players to save character creation skill points to spend at the next significant milestone.
@edge of dreams: To clarify my point: I´m not talking about a regular attack. I´m talking about a maneuver to place an aspect like TOO OCCUPIED TO SEE THE NEXT ONE COMING or something like that.
A block is a block is a block.
If outside of combat, what is the effect? Is it a maneuver? A social attack (for something like social combat)? Why are you doing it?
Like was stated, start with the effect, work back from there. Balance, power, etc. relys on the mechanical benefits of the action. Don't over cost something just because it seems like it would be hard to do from our (Harry's) perspective. Thematically, it would use Spirit for evocation, and I'd say Illusion (which isn't in the books but would be something like Veil magic) for Thaumaturgy.
I think I'm overlooking some things somewhere, but at what point does a player/character receive fate points?
I know there's a refresh at the start of the session, and that you get a fate point whenever an aspect of your character is compelled and you choose to accept the compel.
But I read about fate points exchanging hands on various occasions throughout the game. When does this happen?
I usually don't like magical tattoos, because they often try to get around the item part of enchanted or focus items. That said, I've had an idea that would kind of take this to the extreme.
A charakter, that is able to put items inside of drawings he made of them and he would be able to take them out again, removing the drawing as if it had never been there. If you do this with tattoos, you can carry a lot of stuff in plain sight. And drawing a sword from your forearm? That is just plain awesome
I am not sure how to stat this, though. Maybe by creating aspects and invoking them for effect to get the item back? Any ideas?

The character I'm currently playing draws a sword from a tattoo in his forearm! Here's the basic write-up of his powers.
If you're interested in the actual character, here's the Obsidian Portal page.
I hope that can help you out!
Thanks folks, y'all the best
I haven't been able to find anyone addressing this idea so I thought I'd make a post to ask how I should handle some spell ideas I had.
The first was a blast of kinetic energy designed to throw a target through the air. how many shifts would this take and how could you deal with damage if you threw the target into a wall.
Another idea I had involved combining water and fire evocation to fill a zone with burning steam, by using water evocation to fill the zone with mist and fire evocation to super-heat it. Would this be allowed in most games?
This is why I was making the PC's do assessments (ignore law-breaking and focus on tags):
Scenario 1
Joe at the bar just got dumped by his over-bearing, soul-sucking girl friend. He now has the consequence "feelings of inadequecy".
The PC's come in and start smashing the place up. For the PC's to take advantage of Joe's consequence, they have to assess it.
Scenario 2
Joe is sitting at the bar when the PC's come in and start smashing the place up. The PC wizard hits Joe with a psychic blast giving him "feelings of inadequecy".
Why, in scenario 2, do the other PC's get a free tag without an assessment when in scenario 1 they need to assess?
I figure this is actually answered in the stunt.
It says second weapon's bonus, not total damage bonus (or similar). So he add's only what the weapon gives him. No strength bonus.
