I am suddenly uncertain if I put forth the original idea correctly. 1
Success by the magician indicates base damage, oh I get it...that screw up in
the game staging loopholes now...okay, let's go for the gusto of it....I
think I could bend the rules a bit so that the caster had to get more
successes...oh hold on...

I get the point...it wasn't the effect I was trying to get though, I keep
forgetting a thing I use in my own house rules as well.
