Hullo, Gilgamesh,

It is listed as an Average (2 successes required) spell and says: "You can cause a person to be slightly stronger.". So this sounds like a spell to raise a primary attribute (strength) which should normally be at least a tough spell (3 successes) for a +1 bonus. That is what the magic chapter in the core rulebook says. So where's the mistake? Do I need 2 or 3 successes to raise strength by 1 using Blood Rune magic? | |

While I would have said that under normal circumstances the spell would have a Difficulty of 3, I gather that here it's a function of the fact that one is carving the rune into the body of the target of the spell that makes the Difficulty drop by 1. And I believe it would be 2 successes (which gives a basic success) for the +1 bonus to Strength.
Just my $0.02, of course.
