hmmm...So I can perform a 1 simple action, and my 2nd simple
action occurs as the spell does. (IIRC).
That might work fairly well, and solves a couple of other problems
as well. Still doesn't solve the problem of how the sam knows
I'm fixing to fry him. (Or even that I'm a mage).
Anyway...the problem is...does using magic pool make the spell more
"complex" or is it just pumping more power into it?
And what's the speed difference between pumping 3 dice and pumping
8 dice. Hmm...sigh...I should be getting work done today..you guys
aren't helping. :)
