Self: You are applying Extend/Extension to your own casting.

Opposite: You are applying Extension to a miracle or Extend to a spell, i.e. the opposite type of casting.
Downcasting is dropping the level of a fifteen-minute casting while casting it to increase its duration. The difference is based on effect levels, not absolute spell levels – see the Downcasting rules for details.
