Question about Dodging and stuff...

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Being from Mathijs's group, I was wondering about these supernatural
languages. We interpret them as being rather powerful. If, for example, you
have EL5 in a spell, then the language allows you to cast it at EL6, and it
reduces the casting cost. Question is, to what casting cost should the
reduction formula be applied? We interpret that as the casting cost for EL5,
yielding a very low cost for an EL6 effect. Not meaning to make my own
magic-user less powerful, how do other groups interpret this rule?
