How about not allowing the Patron of a Coil to wind it? Otherwise an  
unscrupulous player (not that we have any of those) could generate an  
endless supply of points and/or Tildex by creating  
mildly-difficult-but-not-excessively-so Coils and then Winding them before  
anyone else can (since they will have had a chance to create the script  
beforehand). I'm also somewhat wary of relying on CFIs to determine  
triviality, but I don't see any better way to do it at the moment.
