I don't think it was impossible for GW to fix the life situation withiout messing up other lores, they just didn't feel like putting in the effort.

Lore of Metal spells have no strength value- it refers you to the Lore Attribute that says the strength is equal to each point of armor save (or something similar).

So if you cast the spell without applying the lore attribute, it wouldn't work. Yet the third eye clarification says that the lore attribute is not part of the spell (in order to allow the casting of lore of life spells, since third eye doesn't allow the casting of spells that regenerate wounds).

I just think it's careless wording- they're basically just letting lore of life be used by third eye and explained it awkwardly. Lore attributes can be used by a caster with third eye, from the way I'm reading it.

Ahhhhh, I got it now. Business per usual at GW then.
