An elephant is size +4 (per ArM5 p. 192)

Base individual is upto size +1 (ArM5 p.117)

+1 for size adds about a factor 10 of mass (ArM5 p. 113)

a factor 10 worth of mass is about roughly a size change of +/- 3

meaning size +4 is a size modifier of +1, maybe +2

The rules for creature size in the bestiary section of ArM states that an increase (or decrease) of three points of Size is approximately equivalent to a factor of ten change in size. So I'd say a +1 magnitude for size, should target animals of up to size +4.

This means that all animal buff spells of the caster would need an extra magnitude. On the other hand, the spells of his enemies might not be able to target him at all!

This is pretty handy stuff to know for Muto, as previously I'd always thought that each time a spell added +1 size beyond size 1, it would cost a mag. I see why that is not the case, and sheesh it really changes growth spells. I'll have to rework the MuAn and MuCo spells I created recently.

So if a spell paid an extra +4 mags to change a creature's size that is equivalent of shift of 12 size ranks (4 mag x3 size ranks)?

+1 is base effect, +4 size is +1 mag, +7 is +2 mags, 10 is +3 mags, and 13 is +4 mags.
