I couldn't find anything that indicated the speed of the miracle. Drat. That
and there is no Childern O' The Atom errata on the PEG website. I assume
that the 'varies' listing in the miracles description is an error, so by
re-flaging this one for John perhaps he can shed some official light on this
one.

As for my inclination, i'd say it'd be a speed of one. As for the target
being able to drop that object, i'd call that automatic. Like a reflex
action. Ie: when you touch a hot stove top you jerk your hand away pretty
damn quick, right?

Well, it does say that anyone holding onto the object will take d10 damage
per round, but that would be for living beings. I would say that using it
against such a target would indeed completely destroy it. (hence the high TN
[11 - 13] and strain [5 - 6] to use the power against large objects.
