Permanent Spells in PFS

[Umbrutei Seikumori]

So I saw that the only spells with "Permanent" durations that carry over are continual flame, masterwork transformation, secret chest and secret page. Why can't Arcane Mark be transferred over?

[CRobledo]

Probably to prevent shenanigans like players casting Arcane Mark on other player's faces for fun with some less-than-desirable images?

To be fair, originally no beneficial spells would be allowed to carry over. The four you mentioned are actually a relatively new addition in relation to the length of the campaign.

Although you did just answer your own question. Why can't Arcane Mark be transferred over? Because only 4 spells are allowed: Continual Flame, Masterwork Transformation , Secret chest and secret page.

I think its highly unlikely any spell will ever be added to this short list and as people enchant their masterwork item, then you are allowed a replacement.

@Matthew Pittard I meant the reasoning behind it.

@CRobledo I guess that makes sense to me? I didn't know that there hadn't been a list before. I feel like having to prepare continual flame each and every scenario to have a higher level light spell would be a pain.

...or how about Animate Dead? Do you know how annoying it is having your undead horses, and loyal sidekick go stiff each time you enter Absalom from a mission? I STILL have yet to understand HOW this happens... If not for Blood Money, I fear I might have single handedly wiped Golarion clean of onyx by now...

I see it as a harmless spell that should be placed on the "permanently allowed" list.

The Carry Companion spell might be a good canidate.
