When calculating the difficulty and component cost of a Preserve Duration or Permanence do you include the extender ritual in the number of rituals to be extended?
Example: Bob creates an item with 4 Cloak vs. Alteration. He casts the 4 cloak rituals and then wishes to extend it within the same batch. When the difficulty and component cost is to be determined, does his marshal use the 1-4 ritual line or the 5-8 ritual line?
