If my opponent attaches a Mara's Touch to one of his personalities, can I use a really techy use of Creating Order targeting that personality to negate force bonuses and penalties to prevent my opponent from using either action on Mara's Touch? I'm thinking yes, as since the force penalty is negated the -2F part of the cost will be unable to be paid, correct?
Mara's Touch and Creating Order

You sir are evil
Yes, Creating Order's negating force penalties will effectively stop the Personality from paying the costs of Mara's Touch's abilities, so those actions will end without resolution if announced later that turn. can't be announced until the turn ends.
Just as a slight follow-up, a personality hit with Creating Order couldn't even announce either action on Mara's Touch because of the Good Faith Rule, right?
Good catch. Yes, Good Faith Rule would forbid the player from announcing the abilities on Mara's Touch.
