Gem Use for Fatigue/Boosting Skill

[chrispedersen]

The formula is rather simple btw.

1/(Mage Path +1 - Path Required) * listed fatigue + Enc Fatigue.


So if your mage is e4, with enc 3, casting an e4 spell

1/((4+1 -3) * 300 = 150 + 3 = 153 fatigue

If you cast Summon Earthpower...so you are now an e5:

1/((5+1) - 3) * 300 = 100 + 3 = 103 fatigue.

Except it's an E4 spell so wouldn't that be:

1/((4+1 -4) * 300 = 300 + 3 = 303 fatigue -> capped to 200.

153 after Summon Earthpower or with a gem.

what if it is a multi-path spell? Does the reduced fatigue come from your excess skill in both paths, or just one?

[thejeff]

Only the main path, the first one listed.
Just as spells can only use one type of gem, possibly to simplify that calculation.
