MASTERDTWIN: /* Secondary Circle Bonus */ Updated secondary bonus to clarify 1/9 value (recent calculation discovery), and clarify formula

Secondary Circle Bonus: Updated secondary bonus to clarify 1/9 value (recent calculation discovery), and clarify formula

@@ Line 27: / Line 27: @@
 Secondary spell circles are any other circles the character knows that do not include the cast spell. For example, a sorcerer casting [[Mana Disruption (702)]] would use spell ranks known in the [[Minor Elemental]] and [[Minor Spiritual]] circles to calculate the secondary spell circle bonuses. If the sorcerer is casting [[Elemental Strike (415)]] then the secondary circle bonus calculations would use ranks known in the [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Minor Spiritual]] circles. For professions such as [[ranger]]s, [[bard]]s, [[paladin]]s, [[rogue]]s and [[warrior]]s that are limited to training in only two spell circles, there is just one secondary circle bonus. (Note: the 2/3 level calculation rounds down, so for example it would be 66 for a level 100 character.)
 '''Secondary Circle Bonus Example'''
-A level 60 sorcerer with 30 minor elemental ranks and 20 minor spiritual ranks would have secondary circle bonuses of 10 (30 * .333) from MnE ranks and 7 (20 * .333) from MnS ranks when casting sorcerer base spells.
