a few comments.

A). Was it raining? etc. Similarly spells can double the cost of fire based spells.

B). What was the magic setting of the province. Drain 3 could increase 20% iirc.

C). Fatigue is the sum of the spell cost and your encumbrance from armor.

D). Unlike what Squirrel said, you can only use 1 gem to decrease fatigue cost.


Try casting phonex power first. Also, I'd have to ask if you are using a crystal shield (heavy encumbrance cost). They're good for casting single big spells - but not good at repetitive casting.
