Here's the option I gave the Doomie in my game: if you roll one or more Aces
initially, you may choose whether or not you reroll those dice again. If you
do, and any more Aces come up, you must continue to re-roll. Why do it this
way? Well, most casters are going to take the reroll regardless (it's an ego
thing.) If they do grab for the extra power, they risk it running away from
them. But they have a bit more control in the beginning if they want it.

Besides, it doesn't matter if they take the roll or not. The rest of the
group still starts screaming and running for cover when he thinks about
casting it :)
