If it makes you feel any better - that is one of my pet peeves about the spells in GURPS GRIMOIRE. Either the spells are abusive in their own right, or they aren't scaled compared with those spells in GURPS MAGIC. I must admit however, that the fix for the Steal attribute in GURPS MAGIC for 4e makes the spell a touch more palatable. Going by memory here, I believe the duration of the attribute change was not permanent, but limited in duration.
One thing you might consider is the possibility that once you use this spell on the Demon, it is considered to be an attack. As such, pentegrams or any other non-physical restraints against the demon attacking the caster of this spell are rendered ineffective. One other possible limit you might consider is one I used originally when that spell came out in GRIMOIRE. That is, only those attributes which are higher than those of the caster count - anything less than that of the caster's is ineffective. Just a thought ;) _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
