Subj: 418 – Mana Focus – Small Bug Fix

I discovered a long standing bug with Mana Focus this weekend and just pushed a fix for it. The formula for success is on the gswiki. A fully trained caster should be able to reduce the failure to 3%, however the long standing bug meant that the actual failure was much more random and higher than it should have been, making this spell more destructive than intended.

Normally I wouldn’t make a post for such a small fix, but I realized while testing it that this bug has conditioned me to stop using Mana Focus completely over the years. So this post is to notify you that 418 should be much more reliable and reasonably safer to use going forward. As an additional note, the eligible 3% failures should also, on average, be less severe than previously experienced.

So, enjoy your safer 418. Except for you habitually bad dice rollers, you all can die in a fire!
