Hail... Wizard spells work a different way then other casters. The other
casters (I'm not sure if magicians are included in this) either do full dmg
or no dmg. Wizards have there dmg vary over a range. This may seem bad to
you now, but it's not. Wizard spells get completely resisted less than
other caster spells. So when you're doing 40 dmg (on a 83 dmg spell), but
everyone else is getting completely resisted you won't feel so useless.
BTW, Necro life draining spells are impossible to resist, it will do the
same amount of dmg every single time he casts it no matter what.

Tandayen, Dark Elf Wizard
