You must either allocate dice for the linking test, or use a spotter.
You MUST allocate dice for the sending. With multiple samples, that's
gonna suck up a lot of dice from your rityual pool, or fail on many
samples.

Yes, I was allowing an (non cannon) possibility that these tests could
be done all at the same time, by splitting the ritual pool among
samples. I can't grasp your "flat rate of succeses"- I never used that
phrase, and don't see how I implied it would happen, or even what it
means in this context..
