Mist (Environmental, Area)
Type: P Range: LOS (A) Duration: I DV: (F ๗ 2) + 3 Mist creates a thick fog that fills the entire area of effect. The mist is dense and difficult to see through, imposing a visibility modifier equal to the hits scored by the caster. Because the spell is not sustained, the mist dissipates quickly, based on the surrounding temperature and winds; reduce the vision modifier by 1 per Combat Turn. Shadow (Environmental, Area) Type: P Range: LOS (A) Duration: S DV: (F ๗ 2) + 1 Shadow creates a globe of darkness with a radius equal to the spells Force in meters. Every hit imposes a 1 die pool visibility modifier against targets within the area (maximum 6). The only difference that I can see between these two spells is that Mist is Instant, whilest Shadow is Sustained. In the spell creation rules of Street Magic, Duration of Instant and Sustained are both +0 DV. So why does Mist have a DV of (F/2)+3 and Shadow a DV of (F/2)+1? Am I missing something (errata?) or is there a misprint somewhere? |
