Is this information on third and fourth recasts accurate? The spell description on Play.net seems to imply that third and fourth recasts only depend on the spell's level to be recast. Andy talk 02:53, 22 January 2007 (EST)

Recast probability
The article currently states:
The probability of recasts decreases exponentially as the level of attack spell increases. ... The chance for recasts is increased by training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning. The base probability for a second strike begins at 60% and is increased by 2% for every bonus corresponding to seed 1 of the summation chart (max 98% first recast at 190 ranks).
These cannot both be true. Is more information available on the recast formula?
