(TFT) Hundred strength elemental

Hundred strength elemental
I decided to limit the use of strength batteries. One can not draw more strength from a battery than they have fatigue. Otherwise the battery would be acting like an aid spell. Increasing the effective strength of the spell caster. If two characters with fifty point batteries were to cast aid back and forth they could build up one to hundred strength. They would probably have to do it in ten point chunks or so. That's about ten DX rolls. Odds are they would miss a DX roll somewhere, probably blow a big chunk of the total accumulated. 

Turn one 10,20
Turn two 30,40
Turn three 50,60
Turn four 70,80
Turn five 90,100
This kind of back and forth accumulation can be enhanced with a simple ritual. The two wizards face each other and place their right hand on the others' left shoulder. This way the -1 DX modifier for the Aid spell (thrown) is negated. Another way to do it is to surround one wizard with six apprentices. Each apprentice tries to aid the wizard. The wizard then casts the spell. The optional delay rule is useful in this case. By waiting until all the apprentices attempt aid first, gives the wizard a full two turns to attempt the spell. With full aided strength. If the wizard should fail their first DX roll, hopefully it wasn't a missile spell, then they should delay their action on the second turn also. This way any apprentice who failed the first roll of the aid spell (loosing only one fatigue), or had a strength battery, could possibly add even more strength. The next obvious step is a second row of apprentices. Hopefully the inner circle has a higher average DX as they will be passing on a higher cumulative Aid. A third row, with a middle row of high DX, and an inner circle of at least fifteen DX, could produce enormous ST. The operative word is could. It is better to give each row two turns to pass on all their Aid. At the end of the second turn the next row goes. With thirty wizards averaging ten ST it should be easy enough to produce one elemental a day of at least one hundred strength.
