Divide successes between the number of future attacks this spell benefits, and its primary effect, adding dice to any Brawl or Weaponry-based attack. Each success devoted to this advantage adds a die to the mage’s attack dice pool. There’s a limit: no attack can have a combined spell + weapon damage dice bonus of more than 5, or 1 higher than the weapon’s damage bonus if the mage already wields a 5 damage weapon.

If the mage would gain a combined bonus 1 higher than this, he instead gains the 9 again advantage. (If the weapon provides 9 again already, this becomes 8 again.) If the mage would gain a combined 3 higher than the limit, he gets the 8 again advantage — the maximum benefit the spell can provide.
