Also, how long does the spell last? There is no expiry listed.
Same for Candle and Pyrotechnics which precede it. Almost as though it was forgotten about...
(There is only a note on page 11 that Spell Expiry Rolls apply "to most durational spells".)

The whole Elementalist book was shoddy in my opinion. Seemed rushed or not well edited.
I'm going to agree with that assessment. It's not my favourite book of the series by a fair margin (and always surprises me it fetches so much on eBay).
Another omission was the stipulation that Elementalists can only cast spells of their Rank or less (all other Professions have that mentioned). This gets corrected in the new edition, but I've preferred to play around a bit...
...Elementalists are often mentioned as being the weakest of the Professions (until they get the high Rank spells, that is). Now... What if the above omission was
intentional? You'd have a Rank 1 Elementalist able to cast a Level 3 spell in his specialist element. Admittedly it drains all his MPs in one go, but suddenly a Rank 3 Elementalist becomes someone to be feared (having access to very high level magic indeed)...
Not sure it works, as an idea. I'd certainly not use it now that Raw Power has been added to their abilities.
