Without helping or answering your question in any way, that Goo spell was a
horrendous oversight in the first edition, I thought. Low target numbers,
and a human could be instantly killed. In fact someone did that in an early
novel (A Robert Charrette one). I hope the version you are using has done
something to rectify that (inanimate targets only or something may be
enough, not sure). I was always too scared to take that spell in case my
players realised how megadeath it was. ',:?)
