Spell Level

So, it's a self-targeting temporal stasis with a contingent release clause and no expensive component... at 4 levels lower? I'm honestly not sure if the contingent release part is worth raising or lowering in level, but the self-targeting drop and expensive component removal probably cancel each other out. Which still makes it seem a bit under-leveled to my mind. Can you expound upon your level decision a bit? - Tarkisflux ^Talk 01:46, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Certainly. The concept originally came to me as a cheap method of teleportation by literally sending yourself in the mail to be read by your ally afar. This amused me, and I recognized it to be less useful as an actual teleport, so a lower level it would be. Then I mused on other options for doing so. There's using it for immortality, but not really. Immortality you can't experience isn't really immortality much at all. Then, you could use it to escape. Being pursued? Write some graffiti on the wall, the cops will run by you without notice. This is where I decided to have the contingency and the risk of being trapped like this forever (as you don't want "on read" only, the cops will read it if its noticed and your cover is blown) while balancing it out so that you will be released somehow.

So I figure, if it's under 5, but still a pretty good disguise-on-command, it probably should be 4. We've got greater invisibility tricks, and this seemed more potent than something found on 3rd level or below.

Actually I didn't even think about temporal stasis while making this. Though to be fair, I think temporal stasis is a tad overleveled anyways. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 02:07, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
