What? I'm pretty sure that backlash can be spread out among other casters explicitly in the RAW.

I certainly do not recall such a passage.  If you find a page reference, please correct me.
Even Chaotic Neutral individuals have to apologize sometimes. But at least we don't have to mean it.

Technically, you're right... The section on preparation says you can share-out (inflict) consequences on other willing participants to help with the preparation, which is what led me to assume the point caster could to the same for backlash...

But the backlash section says nothing of the kind. I suppose a GM wouldn't be out of line to make the same assumption, and rule it in his game... but it wouldn't be RAW.

Actually, I saw something in the RAW that DOES let you distribute backlash between casters.

The danger here is
that if any participating caster fails a Discipline
roll during the process, the spell energies are
released as described above. The participants can
determine how to divide backlash among them
if they wish.
