In Jalk's Book, it's 7x7x2.

"Report on the Orlanthi". P255.
"But for a priestess to be assured of getting her magic back by fully contacting her deity during the periodic rites, she must have the formulaic "7x7x2 participants." Otherwise, her greater magic, which sets her apart from other godi, is not guaranteed."

Of course, you'd want some surplus. "Sorry, Olaf's got the flux, can't make it. We're on 97, not 98. No magic this year. Oops." Received on Wed 07 Dec 2005 - 16:37:15 EET
