Okay. The original text on Expansion was that it could be augmented to increase it's duration to 1 minute per level, instead of one round per level. It also originally had a duration of 1 minute per level.

The errata says that the augment should say 10 minutes per level, up from 1 round per level. It doesn't address the original duration at all.

So, which one is the error? Should the errata'd augmentation give 10 minutes per level from 1 minute per level, or should the regular duration of the spell be 1 round per level?

I think the errata and the original aug text are both wrong and the duration should be 1 minute/level, upgrading to 10 min/level with the augmentation. This would be in line with the Enlarge Person spell. 1 round per level is a very poor ability, even for a 1st level power.

That's what I thought too, except the other way, 1 round per level augmenting to 1 minute per level, is what Compression has. So I'm just not sure.
