A Definition of Skills and Magic
In The Mixed Medieval Arts we have three main ways of producing certain actions, or Effects, upon the people or situations around us. Those are Skills, Faith based Magic, and Mana based Magic.
Skills are Actions and techniques that the Character has learned, practiced and which produce an in game Effect. Skill uses are typically limited to how many times per day that particular Skill may be used/utilised.
Faith based Magic would be any Effect that originates from a Cleric, Nature or Warlock Prayer. All 3 of these are fueled by Faith, through a Prayer Cycle.
Mana based Magic would be any Effect that originates from any Spell, Psionic, Circle or Rune. All 4 of these are fueled by Mana through a Mana Pool, or through a Spell Cycle or Psionic Cycle.
Instant vs Lingering Skills or Magic
All Skills and Magic, regardless of it's source, are either~
Instant
If you are the Casting Character of the Skill or Magic -
Instant Skills or Magic are when the results, or the Effects, of the Skill or Magic happens immediately, and DOES NOT leave any lasting Effects upon the casting Character.
An example of this would be FireBall, where after it is made and thrown, the Casting Character has no further beneficial or negative Effects.
If you are the Target Player of the Skill or Magic -
Instant Skills or Magic cast upon you will leave no lingering Effect, rather only an immediate result.
An example of this would be Healing Magic cast upon you where your Hit Points get a one time 'boost' but no further Effect.
Lingering
If you are the Casting Character of the Skill or Magic -
Lingering Skills or Magic are when the results, or the Effects, of the Skill or Magic happens over a period of time, and DOES leave lasting Effects upon the casting Character.
An example of this would be "Fly", where after it is cast, the Casting Character has a declared length of time to enjoy the Effects.
If you are the Target Player of the Skill or Magic -
Lingering Skills or Magic cast upon you will have a declared Time Call that will leave a lasting Effect.
An example of this would be Invisibility cast upon you, where you disappear from sight for a declared length of time.
At any one time, no Character may be under the BENEFICIAL Lingering Effects of more than ONE Mana based, ONE Prayer based and ONE Skill based source.
Durations
Each Skill will clearly state it's individual duration time. Durations means how long an active Skill may be used for,
if not canceled first.
Example~
A Character wants to use one of their daily uses of Hide in Shadows (this is the 'Cast'). It is a Level 2 Skill, and has a duration of 6 minutes (this is the Duration). The hunker down in a shady spot, with an closed fist held above their head and arm bent at 90 degrees (this is the Game Mechanic). Then, 3 minutes into the duration, they decide that they need to be seen, and so they drop the arm and hand signaling Hidden.
The Skill is now cancelled.
Despite the fact that the Skill could have lasted for 3 more minutes, it's use is now over, it's use is done, and another use of Hide in Shadows must be employed.
In short ~
The Skill determines the Game Mechanic, if that Game Mechanic then lingers, when the Game Mechanic is dropped/lowered, the Skill is instantly cancelled.

In the case of an active Voodoo doll, the Body Part attached to the Voodoo doll is now ruined, and may not be used for any Voodoo effect.

Later, in an ambush, Bob takes an arrow to his armoured leg, and Bob does not Negate the 'hit' for he has other more pressing matters on his mind (like staying alive!). The arrow does 2 Hit Points to Medium Armour, which reduces the Armour on that Leg to zero Armour Points. Later in the fight, a dastardly Rogue lands a "Hamstring!" (a 3 Hit Point leg strike) on that same leg with the arrow damaged Armour. Because the Armour on that Targetable Area has been reduced to zero, this blow may not be Negated. Sorry Bob.
