even that isn't a sure thing; to get six successes against a TN of 4
50% of the time takes 11 dice. and if you use all six successes to
heal, you can't reduce the healing time, which means you have to
sustain the spell for 15 turns.

if you can get there in the golden hour, then treat (which will have a
TN of 2) will be able to turn out six sucesses pretty reliably at 7
dice, so that might be feasible... throw in four more to get enough
extra successes to cut the treatment time down to something reasonable
and it might just work... but i think the chances are long enough and
too dependent on too many secondary factors that it's not particulary
unbalancing. a force 11 elemental represents a lot of power, but you
take a lot of risk calling it up, which is as it should be.

i agree that such behavior is consistent with Dog.

however, were, say, a Rat or Raccoon shaman to attempt the same thing,
i'd be, shall we say, nonplussed.

When Elvis Presley died in 1977, there were 37 Elvis impersonators in the
world. Today there are 48,000. If the current trend continues, by the year
2010, one of every three people in the world will be an Elvis impersonator.
