THM: RPM Path of Chance

How would you RPM mavens approach building a ritual that would tie the fates of two individuals, tagged as Underdog and Favorite, such that the Underdog receives a bonus equal to the margin of success of the Favorite’s last roll, while the spell lasts? Both of those affected by the spell must be within the area of effect at the time of casting. Note: this spell will not give any bonuses to rolls to cast magic.

Here's a draft:

The Underdog's Equalizer
Spell Effects: Lesser Transform Chance
Inherent Modifiers: Area, Duration, ????
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).

Typical Casting: Lesser Transform Chance (8) + Area, 6 yards diameter (2) + Duration, 10 minutes (1) + ?????

It seems that this needs a modifier for bestowing a bonus. However, the bonus is not guaranteed, nor is it a set number. Given that, and, seeing as one could just give a specific bonus on every roll by using a different spell effect, it seems unfair to pay full energy for the maximum possible bonus for this spell. Suggestions?
