Re: (TFT) A Thought on the St Cost to Renew Spells

["David Michael Grouchy II" <david_michael_grouchy_ii@hotmail.com>]

    Here are a some ways that come to mind.  I've written four different 
example rules for the same idea.  Each is prefaced with the approach.

as an extension of an existing spell.
	if the character knows aid they may take over maintenance of a spell cast 
on them.  Even if they don't know the spell themselves.  It still requires 
an entire action and DX roll to cast Aid.

as an expansion of the thrown spell category.
	if the subject of a thrown spell is willing, they may spend the fatigue 
strength to maintain it.  But they may never take control of the spell if 
the wizard who casts it continues to pay the fatigue.  The fatigue is spent 
during the renew spells phase and requires no DX roll.

as a side effect of a specific wizard's spell casting
	anyone who has control person cast on them and eventually resists it, can 
now maintain any benificial thrown spell cast on them by the same wizard.

arcane knowledge
	introduce any of the above variations as a lost, forgoten, then legendary 
book.
               but introduce the book as just one specific thrown spell.  
Like ''maintainable iron flesh'', or ''maintainable spell sheild'', or 
''maintainable blur''.
               This book can be used to learn the spell like any other 
talent.  Or if the wizard already has a version of the spell in question 
they can learn it in a day.
