Also, don't charms add to Penetration, not Casting Total?
Cycle:4 seasons 12-16 are where I have added names of power, season 6 is daimonic pacts.
according to HOH:MC p. 97 charms add to casting totals.
I had not realized that fact when I okayed infinite charms. I was looking at the box on p. 88, which only deals with Penetration. I have to rethink whether allowing unlimited charms is reasonable from a play balance standpoint.
(FWIW, this is an excellent example of why my knee-jerk reaction is to say no to things until I've thoroughly thought them through. I often find that things are far more complex than I thought they were.)
You can only use as many charms as your score in faerie magic, and if you use the same category more than once the bonus drops to +1 per charm after the first in the category...
