I'm sorry, which part are you disagreeing with?

My real opinion would be that all the missile spell really does is create a 0d charge. All enlargements are the purview of the scroll reader.
In which case then there wouldn't be any such thing as a charged scroll for missile spells.

I think the compromise solution is to allow the first enlargement to use the magery of the enchanter but the energy of the reader (for uncharged scrolls).

Exploits, pg. 76 says "When the spell goes off, the reader pays the energy cost for whatever spell effects the scroll's creator chose."

Assuming that the enchanter would at least have to enchant the first enlargement with a single energy, I say allow him to use his entire magery just for the first enlargement.

I think the follow up enlargements are more easily defined to be strictly out of the casting sequence.

Of course, this is a very technical and gray issue with room for opinions. That's just my logic.
Then we seem to be in agreement, after all?
