While perusing the Spell Magic chapter of the
Player's Guide and looking for awesome things to do with my Wizard when his legend increases, I stumbled upon
Dislodge Spell at page 359. This spell allows the caster to weave an extra thread for the Additional Target (+1) effect, and that got me wondering. Since this spell effectively wipes clean one of the enemy magician's Spell Matrices, it would seem like a logical design choice to allow an extra thread to wipe an additional Spell Matrix - but then I started wondering whether that was a correct interpretation, since I had been assuming with every other spell in the book, that the Additional Target (+1) extra thread meant casting your spell at someone else at the same time.
Looking for an answer, I flipped the book to page 256 and read the
Additional Threads rule and found no answer. It is actually never explained what the additional target is allowed to be or how to choose it (I checked the errata too - no answer there either).
If Morgan or Josh could comment on the designers' intention behind the rule, that would be great - otherwise we might reach community consensus in this thread. I suppose everyone can agree that the Additional Target (+1) allows you to cast a spell at two foes instead of one.
- Does anyone allow the same target to be chosen more than once?
- How would you interpret the Additional Target (+1) of Dislodge Spell?
