Weaken Soul

Effect: The target loses resistance equal to number of successes past the target's skepticism
Range: 12
Defense: Spirit
Cost: 1*
The caster uses spirit to weaken their opponent's very soul. The effect lasts for the scene, unless the pool is pledged, in which case it is permanent for as long as the mage maintains the spell. The mage rolls expression + spellcasting versus target's skepticism, and resistance is reduced by the number of successes past the threshold.
