That is better more in line with its fellows however already exist.

Nullify combustion

[Fedup]

This is a different spell that does something similar. My spell makes an object flammable or inflammable. Nullify combustion stops the flames themselves and can't turn an object more flammable.
This is similar to how Death can be used to damage an object and so can matter, or how Death can be used to deepen shadows but also forces (by manipulating light).

My point is that while Fire is forces and thus stopping fire itself or putting it out, is forces, flammability is a property of the object and thus falls under Matter.

[ReubanBrightwood]

The flavour is different but it is just transferring the same effect to a different Arcanum, not to say there is no president for these kind of effects.

But to look at nullify combustion to even momentarily prevent fires requires forces 2 + death 2 and forces 3 is needed to put them out and all of this is at a transitionary duration. I have to be careful with CT not to accidently let something through that simply does the same or better for less.

For that reason I am willing to consider a spell that both prevents or enables fires for a prolonged duration, at matter 4 for touch. Matter 5 for sensory range.

Ive a question about the spells Times Mark and Precise Dating, and specifically, their comparison. So Times Mark allows to figure out an object or living being`s time of creation/birth date, thereby determining time since creation. Because this spell says that with Time 2, conjunctional Arcana are not required, I assume Philip can cast this without conjunctional Death, Matter or Life.
I wanted to ask if something similar could apply to Precise Dating as well, aka, not requiring conjunctional Matter or Forces Arcana if cast with Time 2, despite not being mentioned in the spell description. The two spells seem similar enough to me and I am curious why one spell allows the dropping of conjunctional arcana with greater knowledge of Time, and the other doesn`t.

[ReubanBrightwood]

The spells do as they state in the spell descriptions.

Philip can cast time's mark without conjunctional arcana as he has time 2 as per the spell description.

Precise dating requires conjunctional arcana as per the spell description.

The exact reason for why they work as they do I am not sure you would have to ask the designers.

Bodily rejuvenation (Life ••)
The mage rejuvenates her body, instantly shedding all dead skin cells from her body, leaving her callous free, with a youthful and dewy appearance, silky smooth skin, cleaner looking cuticles, and helps promote healthy blood flow. In addition the mage using this spell can choose to remove any bodily or facial hair upon their body they wishes along with acne and fade acne scars.
Finally mages who routinely uses this spell visibly ages slower (akin to aging with grace, no actual slower aging).

Practice: Ruling
Action: Instant
Duration: Lasting
Aspect: Covert (as per global rules)
Cost: None


Successes needs to be allocated to one of the following effects:
Dead skin removal.
Body hair removal.
Facial hair removal.
Remove acne.
Fade acne scars.

Changing appearance to look more attractive is covered by Image of striking beauty

Adding or removeing distinctive features e.g. scars is covered by Two faces which can only do so for a prolonged duration because life spells that affect that pattern in that way can't be lasting/indefinite.

I am going to have to send you back to the drawing board for those reasons.

Would the removal of the other aspects and put it down to this level be sufficient?

[ReubanBrightwood]

changes to the pattern like hair loss can't be a lasting change as per he rules of life spells. And would still be covered by the Two faces spell as does effecting skin health/texture.
