-Training in [[Elemental Mana Control]] and [[Spiritual Mana Control]] increases the number of targets available in the open cast version of the spell, with the higher of the two counting all ranks and the lesser counting half ranks.  If they are trained equally, divide one of them by 2.  The maximum number of targets is the sum of mana control ranks so computed is divided by 20.  Wisdom and level adjustments apply normally in the open cast version of the spell.  The open cast version of the spell is not friendly to other characters.
+Training in [[Elemental Mana Control]] and [[Spiritual Mana Control]] increases the number of targets available in the open cast version of the spell. Every 20 effective mana control ranks allows the spell to affect 1 additional target. To calculate effective mana control ranks, take the higher skill (either EMC or SMC) in full and add half the other skill. (If they are equal, then one contributes full and one contributes half.)
