What does spending experience on a spell mean on BGTSCC?

Unread post by Hoihe »

Ahoy!

I've been wondering, what In-character cost does losing experience on a spell like Wish, Miracle or few other spells mean?

Is it aging?

Is it amnesia of random stuff?

I've been curious and I wish to see how the various DMs handle it!

It rarely ever comes up. When it does, it's normally determined on a case-by-case basis, if it is allowed at all.

There's currently no standard response. However, this would require a team decision, as opposed to an individual DM's judgement call.

But if I'm ICly putting together a ritual which would cost XP, how demanding would it seem IC?

(Basically how serious one's response would be to someone suggesting a wish.. like

"What?! I don't want to live shorter! We can try something else.." when discussing certain troubles.

It depends on the DM overseeing the ritual, as Maecius said.
