# of dice.....ST cost
damage......to cast
~~~~~......~~~~~
1d...............1 ST
2d...............2 ST
3d...............4 ST
4d...............6 ST
5d...............8 ST
6d.............10 ST
7d.............12 ST and so on...

This is a gentle curve, yet strong enough to deter many missile spells much over 3 or 4 dice, while not setting any kind of hard limit.
Didn't I jus propose more or less that earlier in the thread 😂😂😂
