   How about:  For the minor blast, the rank of the madness check is equal
to the tens die of the aleetheiamancy check; for the significant, make one
check at a rank equal to the tens die and another at a rank equal to the
ones die.  Thus, the minor blast is unlikely to force more than an extra
rank-5 check unless the adept is very skilled, but the significant blast
has a decent chance of forcing a check at rank-6 or greater.
