The Speed spell allows movement to be increased by EL+1 being added to
the PMR. It has a limit of the maximum speed being 4 x PMR. If a
character has a PMR chart of 2/2/2/2; 3/3/3/3 or 4/4/4/4 this presents
no confusion. But conceivably an interpretation problem may arise when a
character's PMR chart varies, as for example 3/3/3/2.
Is the maximum going to be 12/12/12/8? No.
As GM I would rule that the MR is what sets the limit, not the PMR. Thus
3/3/3/2 having a MR of 11 would have a maximum MR of 44 using a Speed EL
of 8+. The resulting PMR would be 11/11/11/11.
Effectively what the Speed spell is doing is increasing MR by 4x(EL+1)
and the resulting PMR is recalculated. This avoids the potential problem
of large variation in speed of maximum movement in different phases
during a turn.
