In the Weather sphere, there's a feat named Mantled Caster, which does the following.
Benefit: For the purposes of your (mantle) talents you are always treated as being under the effect of your mantle and gain benefits from any (mantle) talents as if the weather were one step more severe. This does not apply to other creatures you bestow your mantle on.
For context, (mantle) talents are spell-like sphere effects which have a 1 hour duration. It makes perfect sense to me that "Oh, neat. You basically get all of your mantles permanently active."
Except I've read it again, and I'm actually not sure that's what it's saying. But if that's not what it's saying, then what could it possibly mean by "For the purposes of your (mantle) talents you are always treated as being under the effect of your mantle"?
Like. "For the purposes of your (mantle) talents" is the real kicker. Because I'm not sure how to interpret that.
Obviously there's the dysfunctional way of reading it of "Oh hey, all your mantles treat you as having it active, so you can't cast it on yourself any more." Except that casting a duplicate buff doesn't actually stop the duplicate from happening, so not even that works.
My head is currently exploding. Please send help.
