In the rule “Spells”:
replace “A Power may also have an arbitrary additional cost recorded as [+cost] in the cost section, where cost can be any non-negative integer or variable of the integer type (also must be non-negative).” with
A Power may have Cost given by a formula with Variable Parameters enclosed in curly braces. Values of Variable Parameters are computed each time a Spell is Crafted or Casted.
and change “An Apprentice may Craft a Spell by assembling one or more Powers, choosing the necessary Parameters and spending the Cost of the resulting Spell in Energy.” to
An Apprentice may Craft a Spell by assembling one or more Powers, choosing the necessary Parameters and spending the Cost of the resulting Spell in Energy using current values of Variable Parameters.
Throughout the subrules of the rule “Powers”, change square brackets in the Cost descriptions to curly braces.
Update descriptions of the Costs of already Crafted Spells that use Variable Parameters.
It seems to me that once the Spell is Crafted, its Cost is never reconsidered. Say, the description of Overgrowth indicates that it Costs 5 Energy independently of the current Mastery Level.
