1. It appears that I can cast a single spell, and split my dice pool in order to target multiple people. When doing this, does it count as casting the spell twice in terms of drain? I'm assuming not, but wanted to be sure.

2. It's been suggested that I could target the same person twice with the same spell, splitting pool. Is this true? If so, how is that not incredibly cheesy, and what's the justification for allowing it?
