Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

Another test, with Spectres this time (there are 97 of them). Here are the results:
Fire:22
Air:22
Water:25
Earth:28
Astral:22
Death:31
Nature:17
Blood:27

It gives 97 elemental picks against 97 sorcery picks. Hmm, I guess I will run another time to try to get more Sorcery than elemancy.

*Grumbles* 110 for elemental picks, 86 for sorcery. The elements win once more.

Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

I took the sceptre test as well, 99 spectres.
Air 22 (3)
Fire 24 (0)
Earth 28 (3)
Water 26 (2)
Death 19 (2)
Nature 29 (2)
Astral 26 (1)
Blood 24 (2)
The first number is the total of results, the second is how many times that path appeared twice on the same spectre.
I find it interesting that no double fires came along, but with a chance of around 4% (Im not sure I did the math right) that's quite acceptable.
Total Sorcery: 98
Total Elemental: 100
Elemental wins, but by a very small margin.
I'd say there's no bias towards Elemental, atleast according to my tests, but with all the other tests...
