That could be one way to get the major charge.  Another would be to restore
a madman (5 failed notches in a gauge) to sanity without using magic.
(That is, erase ALL failed and hardened notches from his gauge.)  This
assumes you're a psychologist, of course.  But you can roleplay it.

As for formula spells, I've suggested against a blast, so here come some
thoughts...

-Removal of damage
-Removal of illness
-Removal of failed marks
-Removal of hardened marks
-Temporary inability to to use Fear or Rage passions.
-Removal of lingering paranormal effects (entropics, demons, curses, etc.)
-You can compress the time it takes you to tidy up a room so that you can
organize a trashed house in fifteen minutes.  (Very nice for when you have
to find that one object that would normally take you hours of searching.
Of course, you find it as a "by-product" of straightening up, and the
target realizes that his house has been cleaned...)
-Remove one charge from someone.  (The minor version of this would simply
squeeze a minor charge out into a minor unnatural effect.  A sig. version
would turn their sig. charge into a .sig unnatural effect.  The really
nasty sig. version would steal the charge and give it to you, but at the
cost of all your OTHER charges, since you'd be symbolically polluting
yourself with the other fellow's charge.)

Hm... instead of "cleansing," which is such an old-skool magick idea, this
really starts to look more like a modern "sanitation management" concept...

Reality is when you're peeking through a keyhole, and someone comes up
behind you and kicks you in the balls.
