Question: Hey John and Anne, bit of a knit-picky question about "Evil Eye" (Magic 2 spell): Your system revamps fate-bonds hard, and changes most boons. Have you changed the duration of Evil Eye from the books (if so, to what?), and is there really no roll and no resistance? Thanks!
Hey, there! I just looked because I was like, "Doesn't it say?" and it turns out it doesn't (although it does imply it in the once-per-scene restriction). The effects of Evil Eye last for one scene, after which the target is only as afflicted by ill luck as they usually are.
And yes, there is really no roll and no resistance. While most of the time we are pretty hardline on people having the chance to resist boons or spells used on them, in the case of Evil Eye, it's simple and elegant enough that we felt it ws unnecessary. Because it doesn't really modify the target, just makes Fate (in the person of their dice) a little less friendly toward them, we're happy to keep it with no roll and no resistance (especially since there's no guarantee it will actually do anything for the Scion who used it if their target happens to just not roll very many twos).
