You do love shinies.

There's one big difference in the Veil as it stood a week ago and as it stands today that I don't think anyone has commented on. Simply, it's more or less trackable and predictable. A week ago magic was varying widely and could jack up and down with no warning at any time. You could notice when it happened, but it could happen at an inopportune time.

Conversely, now (or once people start to figure out how things work), you'll know whether teleport is reliable or not. The Veil is not really going to spontaneously thin and strand you in the middle of fighting 4 or 5 ragers.

Incidentally, I've been tracking things over the last seven hours, and it's ranged from "Magic is a little weak, but only a Nexus mage would probably notice the minor effects" to "Magic is a little strong, but probably only a Battle character might notice the minor effects." In other words, pretty close to balanced. That's going to shake up a bit as the week goes on and some things come to light, but probably not a ton as a matter of course.
