horror mark on pretender

[thejeff]

If a Thaumaturgy 1 spell that any S2 mage can cast can render a Pretender permanently useless, that seems a bit ridiculous to me.
Why should a regular mage with an easy to learn spell, be capable of that.

If the intent is to make SCs shortlived against any nation with Astral, then it seems to have worked.

If Horror Mark spamming becomes the default way of dealing with SCs then it's probably overpowered.
