Magnitude

Each difference in magnitude between the player rolling the dice for a Move and the target counts as a +1 or -1 depending on whether you are scaling down or up. Also not that at the Grandfather's decision the amount of segments in a clock may also be effected by differences in magnitude and may result in no effect at all.
