Evaluate Intelligence 120

Evaluating Intelligence can be used to determine the amount of Mana an opponent has left. It also affects various Magery spells, altering spell damage (similar to how Tactics increases damage dealt in standard combat) or the effectiveness/duration of a spell. It also has a role in defense when coupled with Anatomy.

Evaluating Intelligence is mostly used for its ability to increase the damage and effectiveness of Magery spells. When you cast a spell, the potential damage is calculated based on several factors, such as the spell, its circle, your ability, etc. (call this base damage). The damage then gets scaled based on the mage’s Evaluate Intelligence. Evaluate Intelligence has a factor of between 1 (0 Eval Int) and 4.6 (120 Eval Int). See the discussion at Spell Damage Increase. There are 3 formulas: direct damage spells, positive buff (bless, strength, etc.) spells and negative ‘buff’ (weaken, feeble mind, curse, etc.) spells. (Summons, Resurrection, Mind Blast and Poison are not affected by Evaluate Intelligence.)
