Request for clarification regarding duration of multiple effect spells.


Round 2: Words of Power Discussion

Scarab Sages

Hi all,

I'd like to direct your attention to some ambiguities I've come across in my preliminary reading of the text. First look at the top right of page 3:

"The durations of multiple effects are tracked separately."

Next look on page 6 on the bottom left under effect words' duration section:

"Duration: This is the duration of the spell. If a spell has
more than one effect word, the shorter duration is used."

Thoughts?

This has been brought up before. It is an open question without a clear answer.

Also consider the fact that the shortest duration ("instant") is effectively a permanent duration.
