[HOE] Doomsayer questions

["Bob Fletcher" <bobfletch@erols.com>]

    I'm sure these have probably been discussed before, but I need some
clarifications, so here goes.  If any of you 'official' guys are watching,
it'd be great to get the straight word on these.

1) Maelstrom.  If a Doomsayer casts this miracle, can he tap it?  It seems
like an awful lot to give a character what amounts to an automatic battery
recharger.  However, I am aware that there are several dangers involved,
such as keeping the Doomie stationary and the possibility of failing the
roll or, worse, botching it.  I just want to be sure.
2) Molecular Cohesion.  Can the Doomsayer decide to negate some of the
wounds from an attack before utilizing the effects of this miracle?  For
example, if he takes a Maimed wound to the head, could he use two White
Chips to bring it down to Serious and then use Molecular Cohesion for the
rest?  My impression was that the intention of the miracle was that it's an
all-or-nothing kind of thing but, again, I want to be sure.

Elder Gods, Shmelder Gods, who believes in that garbage anyway?
Hastur, Hastur, Hastur.  See?  Nothing hap--
