    And that's only failing 16 times in a row, you'll see 10 in a row a lot more frequently.
    Because that is how reality is. And an RPG is a second "reality".

    And having a system of; fail 3 times in a row, then you get 100% success on your 4th. It makes no sense when it comes to an RPG.

    A lot of things in RPGs get explained away to make sense, like Tokens. Say you fail a meld with your materia on your scroll and all that is left is an untradeable unsellable powder of the materia you tried to meld - by using that powder in conjunction with a meld of the same type you get a boosted chance (if SE feels nice - 100%, if SE wants to torture us but still give hope - say something like 30% and you get two powders if it fails again).

    The reason why I say of the same type and tier is because it would be pretty unfair to fail a useless tier I to then put in a great tier IV.
