			:Hi Becca! To be perfectly honest, Justin and I were in the process of confirming that old formula (as you can plainly see the ancient date of it's posting) when we got bored and left. Anyways, I imagine it would be nice if someone were to confirm that the new formula is in fact accurate through empirical testing, but you could certainly update the article anyways. We renamed "alignment bonus" to be more specific and is in fact the exact same thing as the "Magical Knowledge Bonus," by the way.

			==Incorrect Formula==
			I am not a mechanic! I don't know what I'm doing here! On 10/15/09 GM Oscuro posted that the above formula (whichever one is posted on Krakiipedia) is not correct. Someone else posted a different formula.

			I'm going to have to put the formula posted [[Scroll (saved post)#Invoke Formula\|here]] into the current format so I can compare and see if they're the same.

	Also, I know that this is incorrect for magic items, and am fairly convinced that it's incorrect for scrolls: "Regardless of the attempt's outcome, a charge of the spell is always depleted."

			: Smartass! Fine, I'll change the table.
			** "(regardless of whether or not they can use it yet)" means you do '''not''' have to be able to cast it, just that you have trained it.
			** "Regardless of the attempt's outcome, a charge of the spell is always depleted." Wasn't sure about this so I put it there for someone to test & and tell me differently.
			** As if anyone ever reads these, can we get a vote on the formula format?

	as to me it's a bit more clear/less cumbersome than seeing that you have to sum the bonuses. Also, what does this mean:"(regardless of whether or not they can use it yet)"? The definiton is whether or not you KNOW the spell, so I'd say that knowing it means you can use it. ~~[[User:ALKALOIDS\|ALKALOIDS]] 09:45, 26 June 2006 (EDT)~~		As to me it's a bit more clear/less cumbersome than seeing that you have to sum the bonuses.

I like this form of the table much better:
{| {{prettytable}}
|-
|Character has direct knowledge of the spell to be activated<br>(regardless of whether or not they can use it yet)
|<nowiki>+60</nowiki>
|-
|Character can learn spells from the same [[spell circle|circle]] of the spell to be activated
|<nowiki>+40</nowiki>
|-
|Character can learn spells from the same [[sphere]] of the spell to be activated
|<nowiki>+20</nowiki>
|-
|Character has no influence in the spell's sphere
|align=right|0
|}
