This can't be resolved by a rule clarification. This is, regardless of the
author's intention, a rule change.
I'm not sure what I think about it, but it will make player characters less
resilient, which may be a good thing.

=0AI vote it can be improved as a rule clarification.=0A=0AIt is a trivial =

, the rune fades, nothing about the spell dissipating.=0A=0A=A0- Can the ad=
ept have several going at the same time? I would say no, or at least the ac=
tivating part must stack so the adept can only activate in the order they a=

The change will have a significant effect on game runtime, it is not at all
trivial. Other DMs have been allowing activation by Free Action. Under the
current write up, individual DMs may require a Pass Action or what have you
and in that case it would not require any kind of conversation at all.
Because Kelsey's version imposes an interpretation however sensible and
valid, then this *requires* discussion.
Otherwise, the ruleset is being changed by whoever edits the rulebook and
fuck that for a game of soldiers.
