A small question regarding Harvey and spells

By Guest, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Does his abilitiy reduces the sanity loss from spells by 1? I'm thinking it does, as it isn't Magic: That Gathering, but I want to be sure.

No, it doesn't. The sanity reduction caused by spells is specifically called sanity cost . Harvey's ability only affects sanity losses, not sanity costs.

Tnx.

I guess it is Magic...

All unanimous?

Torn has it exactly. Costs are voluntary. The ability does not lessen the blow when you spend sanity. The same thing applies to Michael McGlen, but spending stamina is a much more rare occurrence.

The character Daisy from Kingsport has a special ability that reduces spell sanity costs. The item Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan from Dunwich does that too.

Of course, one of those requires exhausting, thus pretty much usable once per turn, the other, well, let's just say she gets way too much for free enfadado.gif .

Unless you are already aware, I am totally with you on that.

Don't make her cast double shrivellings on you.
