There are some differences of opinion about how Black Magic’s two-targets (-1 damage) tag should work.
I’ve always thought of it as both targets take the full damage.
The other opinion is that after subtracting 1, the remaining damage is divided between the targets.
What do you Tavernites say?
“If the action that triggers the move could reasonably hurt multiple targets roll once and apply damage to each target (they each get their armor).”
That’s great, Tim! Where is that quote from?

The discussion of the Hack and Slash Move.
Presuming you mean the Mage, you know you could just ask Jacob Randolph, right?
“I’ve always thought of it as both targets take the full damage [after subtracting 1 from your roll].” is the interpretation I intended when I wrote the move.
Thanks for your responses! That’s how we’re playing it, now.
