Magic Scale is too weak. Why?

Actually you can't mod the Magic scale as of right now. Hopefully in the next patch it will allow us to mod those as well.

the main point, for me, about magic scale is not the modification to MR. The most important feature is how it modifies the points you get from your researchers. Going from magic 0 to magic 3 will double (3 to 6) the RP generated from a Pythium theurg, or Mictlan priest. And they cost less than 3 gp upkeep of gold. You see the trick? Reaching overland spells like a flames from the sky (waste an enemy army) when the others are still struggling with level 6 in research is something of interest.

Another point is that you spend less fatigue. -30% in magic 3, in combat (for spells). Something of importance too, and can lead to a whole range of strategies.

its like saying that growth is too weak, because it gives 0.2% growth only. Growth give more supplies, and a bit more gold too. Thats the 3 aspects which must be taken into account when saying that the scale is ok or too weak.

I use the magic scales solely for reaserch, the -3 magic resistance would still be beneficial against my enemies.

Just because you only use them one way doesn't mean they need to be changed to accomidate your playstyle.

Right now Magic feels lacking, but I don't think it's the MR portion of it at all.

Otherwise C'tis would start with 2000 Income, 50 Death Gem Income and a pile of sauromancers.
