Normally cast as a charm, this spell allows its holder to manually choose their result on the Critical Hit Table or Critical Head Blow Table (B556) instead of randomly rolling for it - whenever a critical success is rolled on an attack roll - for the duration.

Typical Casting: Lesser Control Chance (5) + Lesser Control Magic (5) + Duration, 30 minutes (2). 12 energy (12x1).
No way is this legal. This is essentially using Super Luck for a single roll. Modified with something like "Aspected, Critical Hit Tables only" (worth maybe -60%, but probably -40%). Remember, one of the results on those tables is triple damage and that's going to be the one you almost always choose if you get to choose at all.
