This Discipline at fifty was at the upper Acolyte threshold, and the threshold had teeth. I don't know about Rex, but I was the Acolyte with the highest Surge in the camp.
Surge folded itself into the Lightning Cascade discharge, and the cast doubled in brightness. The branches that had been splitting three times now split four. The reach that had been ten meters extended to fifteen, as the amplification was not additive, but was multiplicative.
It had taken me a while and a leap of faith to first cast Surge and Spark eleven loops ago to stun one demon, and pouring Surge into a spell a hundred times more powerful than Spark was relatively easier with all the growth I had made during the loops.
Surge did not stack with Cascade; it supercharged Cascade. The two Disciplines together produced a cast that was not the sum of their separate capabilities but the product.
