Cas,
  Excellent addtition to the spell.  I like the clarification for an 
alchemist detecting the gas at 1D less.  A specific rule tie in, that sets 
precident for the gas being invisible.

  But at a five to one cost, its an awful lot more expensive to cast.  I 
think for that much fatigue it could almost be stronger.

   Life is the first of a string of tie in spells.  They offer a slightly 
specific tradition for Weapon/Armor Enchantment.  I have always prefered a 
small family of unique magic weapons that vibrate with power, or speak to 
their weilders, or even talk telepathically to their owner's mind. Mend as a 
name is going in another direction.
   The use of a Life spell on a skeleton is a great question.  I completely 
over looked it.  I haven't tested this spell on players yet, and none of 
them has an IQ 20 wizard yet.  I would have to rule against it.  Life is 
anathema to undead.  It should do one point of damage to the skeleton.
   A golem is another question. I'll get into a new selection of Labs and 
creating things in some of the higher IQ spells.  It really depends on the 
Lab and what the wizard is creating there.  I mean to say, specifically what 
type of golem(s) we're talking about.

   I'm nervous about player abuse on this one too, but I feel there are 
enough combat spells, and I want to encourage a type of mage I haven't seen 
much of.  The spy type mage.  As a GM they are my favorite.  It gives me 
logical suspension of disbeleif on why my bad guys may have inside info on 
the players' plans.
   I'll definitely be watching my players close on this one.  To see how 
its used.  Maybe refine it's wording.
