:If the modified trait has multiple facets with separate durations, you must specify which duration you are extending
GURPS Psionic Powers calls this Increased Duration which can cause some confusion.
==Auras==
:To add Extended Duration to an attack, the attack must either have Aura, Persistent, or Wall, or specifically allow this enhancement.
18 January 2020 mirtexxan questioned how this would work with auras, and posted what he said was a response from Kromm about it:
:To be honest, David Pulver wrote that portion of the rules, so I'm not 100% certain what he was thinking. My best guess is that he changed his mind on how Aura should work! At any rate, it's simplest to read that as:
::Extended Duration can be added only to an attack that has a duration as opposed to being instantaneous, such as an Affliction or anything with the Persistent enhancement.
Affliction in its basic form lacks a duration (it creates a 'stun' condition which lasts indefinitely until a HT check is made) so Kromm likely meant the enhanced versions which bestowed MoS minute conditions like advantages/disadvantages, or irritating conditions.
==Missing Values==
Values are missing for -10%, -30%, -50%, etc. and a precedent for calculating what their multipliers would be would be useful.
==Permanent==
The 150% version requires "a reasonable set of conditions that will dispel the effect (or cure it, for abilities such as
Affliction and Mind Control).". Examples of this in the books include:
*GURPS Horror 72: "Ends if possession ends"
