(Conjure Mounts and Locate Artifact True) I did it several times, and if I remember right, the damage was the same every time. With 14 points of healing/turn, that's easy to ignore for a while. However, casting two hard spells together can be significantly more painful. I have not had a character do it, but my impression from talking to others is that it can be as high as 50-60 points of damage. - Patrick McGehearty Up
