Warding is a type of attack which utilitzes the CS of the caster. The CS is compared against the target's TD, and then the CvA of the target's armor is factored in. Finally, a d100 roll is made, and the total calculated. If the total (aka endroll), is greater than 100, the spell hits the target.

  • This is a typical failure. The target succeded in "warding off" the spell, thus the caster's magic has missed.

  CS: +141 - TD: +128 + CvA: +25 + d100: +60 == +98
  Warded off!
  • This is what a typical success looks like. Note a success is when the target "failed" to ward the magic off, thus is affected by it.

  CS: +146 - TD: +123 + CvA: +25 + d100: +97 == +145
  Warding failed!
   ... 30 points of damage!
   Strike swipes cleanly through the abdomen, but seals up a moment later!
