Question regarding spells increasing characteristics

[Arthur]

@raccoonmask

Since you could use MuCo to give a bonus to soak (something humans can do to a lesser degree already), could you also use MuCo to give a brief burst of unnatural strength or physical might to a human beyond what his form would normally maintain? For example, give a mortal man the strength of a bull for a diameter duration, despite him having a physically frail frame?

From the existing examples of MuCo spells, you probably wouldn't be able to give a blanket bonus in a characteristic.

What you might be able to do, however, is grant a bonus to a specific kind of tasks. For example, a spell named Strength of the Bull might give you a bonus to lift and carry heavy items (thus reducing encumbrance) much like Gift of the Bear's Fortitude provides a bonus to Soak.

Most characteristics are a composite of many traits. The unwritten (as far as I can tell) rule seems to be that MuCo can increase one of those traits at a time, not the whole characteristic.
