The manual was saying for the 2pow one that it's not fatal to great old ones while for the 100 it says that no rituals work around it. Since the rest of the text is basically repeated changing the range I assumed the 100 POW is more powerful and has additional powers. For this particular scenario, if I solved using a more powerful version of the sign, would it get destroyed in the process or it would continue to exist? What if I just place a really powerful sign inside the house? (It is supposed to drain the POW of it slowly and protect from the house powers, moreover there is the fact that no rituals works around it) would it kill the house slowly like a poison? I'm ask it hypothetically, pretty sure nobody would think about it in reality. When I played the scenario before reading it, I tried to have the terrain bought by the Program, maybe damaging the house first to reduce the price, trying to quarantine the curse until we would have been able to study a more permanent solution that didn't involved killing an innocent (I ended up trying to use a recently dead Agent to perform the ritual but the house got me)

2017-11-06 15:30:27 +0000 UTCI'd say the 2 POW is simply a ward, something small and with limited effect (that could alter a small house), while the 100 POW is something to blanket, say, the area surrounding the library of Congress, or the Pyramid at Giza. I've used both the 2 POW and the 100 POW many times—keep in mind there are as many spells and concepts as their are cultures and civlizations. Don't think of this as "Magic Missile"—you could have a version of the elder sign that was cast on a person's skin for 10 POW, or whatever...

2017-11-06 14:56:15 +0000 UTCAlso a question about the elder sign. What is the difference exactly between the 2Pow one and the 100Pow? Both seems to be permanent. Second question could the 2POW be used in this scenario or I need the 100 one? (In trying to be as vague as possible but it's difficult)
