I'm playing an Oracle in a campaign with the time mystery, not that it's super relevant to my questions, but whatever. I have three mostly unrelated questions for pathfinder.
1. Can spells I cast be dismissed by me if they are not designated as dismissible? Example, temporal stasis. A spell with a permanent duration. Is there any rule, feat, metamagic/anything that can make it easier for me to dismiss should I decide I want it to end?
2. In the time mystery there is an ability
"Aging Touch (Su): Your touch ages living creatures and objects. As a melee touch attack, you can deal 1 point of Strength damage for every two oracle levels you possess to living creatures. Against objects or constructs, you can deal 1d6 points of damage per oracle level. If used against an object in another creature’s possession, treat this attack as a sunder combat maneuver. You can use this ability once per day, plus one additional time per day for every five oracle levels you possess."
So for people and small objects how it works is very straight forward, the question is how it works for large objects. For example, let's say I decide to use aging touch on a stone wall, a wooden floor, or insert object that I want to only damage a certain portion of here. How much of said wall would it damage? Would I be able to shape the area, concentrate on a certain section, would it be a cone or a spread? Would it just not work? Would it be purely DMs call? The rules on that are very unclear.
3. Are there spells/magic items that increase saves? In 3.5 I would always use greater resistance, but that seems to not exist in pathfinder. Are there any suitable replacements in pathfinder that anyone knows of?
Thanks for any and all assistance.
