Even in the Fireball example above, whose finger would do the pointing? Who decides the range?How leadership within the circle is not really specified in the feat. The only suggestion is that the base DC is determined by the highest DC caster. Is this the leader? Or is the highest-level caster the leader? Can they choose the leader each time? In an example where choosing the leader, or to make up a term, the "caster of effect", maybe three spellcasters are cooperating, but only one of them as the right tactical position to use the spell most effectively. Maybe the spellcasters "adjacent" to the "caster of effect" have taken 100% cover, while the caster of effect must reduce his cover to at least 50% to get the spell off. In the next round a different caster may have a better position and they switch.As DM it would be a toss up. It would either be the one with the highest relevant stat (hence the highest DC) or the circle can choose somehow. Whoever is "in control" of the circle would decide spell effects such as range and target. Any spell effects that involve the caster, such as Charm Person would effect the caster in control. But that's just a DM's interpretation. There's really nothing in the rules I can see that specifies it.</blockquote>
