WHOA!!!! IMNSHO, this should be at -least- a 6 pointer, as it severely l=

Same for this one, a 6 pointer at least, as it reminds of a variation of=
"Limited Time" (or whatever the real name is).
Another flaw we came up with this weekend...
Magic Magnet : -3 points (maybe higher)
Character is a (para?)naturally occuring magnet to directed magical activ=
ity. As such, all target numbers to effect the individual by another ma=
gical individual are reduced by 1 point (-1 to all -their- success test=
s). Yes it does help in healing, but it also makes absolutely every ot=
her spellcasting easier as well. It does NOT make a person easier to h=
it with a Weapon Foci, but it DOES help in all aspects of a ritual cast=
ing.
