I tried to suggest the same thing in other threads.
I think this same principle occurs in many different areas.

For example, if you mod 4 25% chances - the game will sum it to 1 100%.

That being said, I'm playing ashdod in stasis, and I took either a Mis2 or Mis3 scale. I believe 2, as I still wanted to get national heros.

I have built fortune tellers on all castles... and have had maybe 2-3 bad events in the entire game.

That being said, its isn't a viable strategy, even with magic 3. The fortune tellers simply cost too much (at least for ashdod) and tie up build slots to keep your magi research competitive.
