Default Spell: Blind Caster Casting 100 Precision

Pretty sure I remember reading this somewhere but if someone wouldn’t mind confirming I would appreciate it:
A blind caster casting a 100 precision spell will still always hit his target correct?
Thanks.

Yes 100 prec spells still work with blind mages. I've had my fair share of blind theurgs or whatever still casting Paralyze and such.

As an interesting question: Would a blind caster always cast 100 prec spells if left to the AI's decisions?

As a slight variation on the question: is accuracy of 100% spells affected by darkness, i.e. does it become 50%?

Parcelt, I would guess yes, but if that is the case, then a blind caster would be better since Blind units are unaffected by darkness.

darkness does not affect 100 percent precision spells.

I suspect 100 is a special number, where you always hit, no matter what.

you do not "always" hit. I have killed my own troops with soul slay before. though it may be a bug. but it does happen on rare occasions.
