<div>Well, the technique was only used in a sheetless campaign and I wasn't the GM, so I can't speak to the *precise* effects. But we all had the strong impression that putting permanent POW into a spell (we called it "putting a piece of your soul into it") produced a MUCH more powerful effect - not something that could be duplicated with any number of MP. It increased the effect of the spell itself.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A roll was also necessary to successfully burn off the POW.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What would be an appropriate multiplier for spending a point of permanent POW on a spell? 4x the damage, double the range, +10 effective MP for getting through magic defenses and/or overcoming resistance?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What would it take to make it an option worth considering in emergencies for you?</div><div class="Ih2E3d">
