- All effects following your paradigm are coincidental
- If a normally vulgar effect reaches outside your sanctum (e.g. Correspondence), it suffers Paradox normally, though you do not
- If a normally vulgar effect is cast and then moved outside your sanctum, it erodes quickly

- Does not further reduce difficulty
- Each dot provides either size or location-specific Arcane, not both
