Mercurial Magic: above and below the table
I'm curious what other judges do with mercurial magic results that Luck modifies above 100 or below 0. So, about that...

I treat it as 100 or 0, but you could easily extend the range to worse, or better, effects.

Hasn't come up, but you could 'bounce' back into the chart and make the result stronger.

I dig the bounce idea... Could be a cheap-n-easy way to expand the table
