Ok scope this. I was GMing as usual and one of my players picked up a sustain focus. he knows levitate so he locks it in at a force four with a target of himself. so does that me he always levities as long as he holds it?.

and a few more things about levitate? this one happened a few sessions ago, but another player of mine lavitaed a smug out the hands of some street garbage ganger. then proceeded to aim and cast another levitate on the trigger of the gun blasting it off in auto fire at the poor frager that got it stolen from him. don't worry about time this was over the course of three turns.

so the question is can levitate man a target, or can two levitate spells be cast on the same target.

as always pardon my spelling/grammar. im still a idiot

The problem we're having, and this is just dumb, is with the word 'control'. According to strict canon, nobody (at all) can 'control' a spell. The book never mentions 'controlling' a spell, so therefore it cannot happen. According to reason and the conventions of conversation, 'control' as has been used by myself and some others refers to the effects of the spell, specifically levitate's allowing the caster to manipulate whatever it has been cast on. In this way the caster 'controls' the spell (more specifically, the effects of the spell as dictated in the spell's description). Just because canon does not use that word does not make the word unuseable in that context. Think of it as a figure of speech.

If that isn't clear enough for everyone... Then by all means, continue.
