> My best guess is you should invest in some lottery ticket action. I haven't spent intense time screwing around with the guts of random number generator so I can't swear on my life that it's not dodgy, but it seems okay to me. As far as I know, all spells are straight up percentile checks for the purposes of whether you will cast the spell or lose concentration. This should be easy to test. Set earthquake to 75% (or roll a lvl 1 invoker if you're not an imm and prac it), go to a water room or midair room and spam it 100 times (if the spell improves while you're spamming, that's no good). Come back here, post the # of fizzles, and I'll tell you if it's within the range of statistical randomness or not. :P (And yes, I'm lazy or I'd do it myself.)
