[@CapLaPorte]: Changing how the matter making up an object is affected by gravity requires enchanting, i.e. infusing magical energies into matter. It is usually something that can't be quickly and easily done on the spot, even on non-magical objects. I suggest that the Lighten Load spell is changed to a form of limited telekinesis; Stanley can extend kinetic energy from his hand to wrap around an object and move it, adding his magical power to his physical strength when lifting things. He can potentially use this to restrain an enemy too, though the energy that he extends can be broken or disrupted by the enemy's supernatural powers.

Once you've made this change, your character is accepted.

If no one has any real ideas for plot hooks, I have a pretty basic one. The Church of Remus and Knights of Saint Peter are both radical factions, anti-Tech and anti-Magi respectively. Their members could run into each other and begin escalating hostilities. Other characters may or may not want to prevent this from turning into a real war.
