Here's what I'd use, if I were to decide to allow a spell designer to
alter the staging involved in the spell:
Staging for Drain or Beneficial Spell Effects (Heal, Combat Sense, etc)
1 +2DL
2 -
3 -1DL
Staging for Damaging/Detrimental Spell Effects (Control Thoughts, Mana
Bolt, etc, etc)
1 -1DL
2 -
3 +2DL
This all assumes that the caster's staging for the spell effect remains
2. The Effect Staging modifiers also would not apply that way to
beneficial spells, only to damaging ones.
