If your version of MEmory works for spells, too, then
it balances, or fails to balance, just the same.

Too true.

I think those folk are missing the point rather badly.
 SB doesn't 'represent' anything.  If you're going to
translate SB's effects into stage direction, "Opponent
is slashed" / "Opponent is dismembered" type of stuff,
then _wait_ until the damage is resolved.  If you
manage to hit all three targets, and do 4, 5, and 24
pts of damage, then I think the answers are pretty
clear.  Resolve the 'what happened' _after_ you get
the numbers.

I hadn't been tracking _who_ all the nerfer text was
coming from; I usually read posts for content, not
attribution.  My apologies if I seemed to be targeting
an individual.
