It's good to see you've gotten another opponent. I won't abandon our duel - obviously - but it allows me to not feel obligated to post quickly.

I would be opposed to your spells stacking. I'd take the position moreso that The Elder Scrolls had taken with spells of this nature. They would not stack but instead just reup the length of spell for another sixty seconds. Consider Lavitz's Rose Storm from Legend of Dragoon if you would. If you were to cast it two in a row it simply reups the protection.

'Rose Storm' is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind, so I just wanted to confirm you were fine with the spells refreshing like that. I've seen RPGs where casting an existent status effect will actually cause it to miss -- I've always thought it was nonsensical. At any rate, good to know. I never planned on using the stacking concept in this particular setting - as I mentioned previously - since that's more something I'd use in my own settings. If I started stacking 'Fortify Speed' it would only be a couple of posts before Abel turned into a gamebreaker in this battle, so I wouldn't do that in this match-up.

As for your post, that's fine. I'll just be working on fleshing out my setting even further is all. I've compiled/finished the entries on my index so if you get bored feel free to peruse the information for your pleasure. Also, if you think there is anything that I'm missing feel free to note such things and I'll add that information accordingly for the sake of enjoyment.

One of my specialties is finding holes or missing details in ideas - whether they be philosophies, strategies, concepts, stories, et cetera - so if I get a chance to read it all over and I do have something in mind that's not there or contradictive then I'll certainly tell you -- I've actually helped other writers move their projects forward like this before. Chances are you'll have things well-thought-out though; the amount of entries show that you've been thorough.

I'm currently finishing off a backlog of PM replies I needed to do. I'm not sure when I'll be sleeping, but it might be shortly -- we'll see.
