I also favor adding success thresholds for the increasing levels. For
example, a light (or +1) spell requires at least 1 success; a medium (or
+2) spell requires at least 2 successes; a serious (or +3) spell requires
at least 3 successes; and, a deadly (or +4) spell requires at least 4
successes. This tends to weaken the heal and treat spells a bit, but I
think that is necessary in my game to prevent the energizer bunny
syndrome.
