So I finally decided to pick up the Legends supplement, and lo and behold a new version of Nemo. With this excellent new version comes a lovely little gem called Pulse Lightning. The spell effect text states that "the target takes d3 damage rolls." The little tactical tip above the spells box says to apply all the damage at once. Lets say I roll a d3 of "2" does that mean I apply POW+2d6+POW+2d6 and apply that result to one ARM rating, or do I apply POW+2d6 apply it to the ARM rating (and be able to boost as normal), and then do it again however many times I rolled on my "d3". The text was a little vague, and I was wondering if anyone has any insight. Thanks in advance!

From the battle college:

Pulse Lighting - Zap someone for d3 POW 11 hits. Note that all three apply at once so that they a: all count to the same column or branch, b: the damage can only be shunted to one place by a warlock and c: only trigger effects that occur when the target is damaged once. Excellent assasination spell against lightly armoured warcasters. You can also boost some or all of the damage rolls separately. Fairly good range.

So apply the ARM each time. The apply the damage all at once thing refers to
effects that trigger on damage, damage allocation on a warbeast/jack, etc.
