Can maintaining multiple spells reduce spellcasting ability?

Post by msrb999 »

Hi,
I am currently maintaining three very powerful spell and several minor spells. My question is, if decide to cast another powerful spell will it cause any problem? I never maintained this many spell at a same time, i am wondering about its effects.

If you're setting your workings up in such a way as to require constant 'support' or maintenance, then yes, I'd imagine they'd end up draining you on an astral level. It seems like something you could easily work around with a bit of redesign, however.

that gives itself to the chisel-
cut by cut it is honed to perfection"

You probably already know the answer. In everyday life your energy levels depend on your lifestyle and constitution. It is similar with metaphysical energy. You should be able to maintain many spells and such at the same time with little drain. Try getting more sleep, eating well, meditation and evoking assistance from those energies/gods that support you. If you feel you are doing too much, then stay withing your limits. Listen to your energy.

If you're using your own personal energy to power them - then yes.

There are other means of powering spells.

I don't have problem with energy supply as I use divine energy most of the time. But the problem is that i have to channel divine energy through me and it put pressure on my mind. I had to calculate a lot of things while holding a large amount of divine energy within myself for casting spells.
