Got it! It's a TN:7 minimum.

Am I correct in assuming that each raise above the opponents increases the TN by a wound step then?

Nope. It's a flat recovery roll. If the Marshal wants to go that route, I'd drop the base TN to 5, then up 2 for each raise to a maximum of 13.

Wouldn't that make the power weaker? For the TN to be higher than 7, you'd need two Raises. This rarely happens. So it'd be sometimes 7, but sometimes 5, and *rarely* 9 or more. On average, a flat 7 is considerably better, isn't it?

Would it be? The point is to keep it "on average" near a flat 7; that isn't possible if it starts at 7 and goes up. While it may be rarer to get more raises, the character can inflict up to a TN:13 on the target. A low of 5 plus a top of 13 equals 18, divided by 2 for a 9 median, two points higher than the 7. The odds may be more unlikely, but the potential increased effect alone is worth something.
Not to mention that this version allows the power's effect to be increased by spending Fate Chips, which the flat TN:7 version did not do at all.
