Nope, just common sense... which Jim has mentioned should be used in
more than one of his replies.

It seems obvious to me what the intention of the Dr's special is.
Doing a 4 point Hellblast backlash to himself and the rest of the
Runners with him just seems bizarre.

I can ask the question when I write the DLOH's if you really need, but
I'm pretty sure the +2 only applies to spells that replace his threat
rating.
