Duration: Moon?!?! That seems like it might be overkill -- but you did say it bordered on useless. I would have expected D: Sun and T: Group for the same level.
Not to be a spoilsport, but Twilight is a sufficiently "costly" experience that in our troupe we always make sure positive effects coming out of it are adequately rewarding. Our players would feel cheated otherwise.
That said, Twilight-learned spells can be rewarding even if "useless" as long as they bend even slightly the rules of magic, and serve as the basis for future research.
It would if it were InCo, but it's InIm - Dolabella is detecting an abstract idea "The taste of Dolabella's tongue" as opposed to tasting all of Dolabella (base 1) and then filtering for only the tongue taste (+1 part). The platonic idea of "The thing my tongue tastes like" as it were.
