Ah, I see what you were trying to point out now. Okay, you are right in
that you do have to have at least one success on each test, and the target
numbers for the different tests are most likely different from one another
as well. BUT, and perhaps this is just me, there is an upper limit to the
entire process, as spell design is a voluntary action, as is learning the
spell actually. If you achieve a certain threshold of time, basing it upon
your own historical/personal knowledge, and for whatever reason you just
don't seem to be grasping it (design or learning, whichever is in question)
... then you can opt to quit.
