| Buff spells will last an average of around 15 minutes. A spell specifically designed to be long-lasting goes 20-30. Very discreet effects can last longer.
The idea behind these durations is that using a lot of magic, and particularly five-layers-deep magic buffs, should be an active and conscious part of playing the character. If your character needs to choose between using his time and attunement to keep a pile of buffs up versus blowing things up, that's good and helps, at least in some small part, in keeping the buff something that is exceptional and that you're conscious of, rather than the new baseline expectation for how your character performs. | |
