Mind Hunt problems

[Psientist]

How about the opposite question? I've yet - in dozens of attempts - to have a successful mind hunt, with astral mages ranging from astral 4 to astral 6, some with spell focii. I would think the odds would be slightly better than that... So far, all it has been for me is a costly "feeblemind self" spell.

Does anybody know the parameters by which defense against, and astral cord severing against, the mind hunt spell comes into effect?

According to the manual, any astral mage in the targetted province has a 40% per astral level of detecting and feebleminding the Mind Hunting mage.
