[PnP] Tongues

[Alex Koponen]

   While the book says "maximum EL possible", I personally would have it
max at the lower of starting EL which is variable depending upon character
stats OR at the skill of the target.
  I would (if I were GM and in my game) say that the tongues spell can only
grant the effective skill equal to the lower of the caster's Em stat (Em/2
if of another race, I+W+Em all /3 if supernatural) or the target's language
skill.
  I suppose a variant of the spell with even more mana cost could be
developed to grant "maximum EL possible".
