Topic: The Holy Grail - Magic Algorithm

[Deathlike2]

Updated info to include new split damage findings.

[Deathlike2]

Updated spell algo to factor in new blind status findings.

[Deathlike2]

Corrected spell formula flaw. Elemental weakness does not set the target's magic defense to 0.
Spell Power is adjusted by elemental weakness or resistance.

[Deathlike2]

Corrected spell multiplier and spell base power math for summon spells.

Man, I should pay more attention to BSiron's info.

[Deathlike2]

Like the physical damage algo, the magic damage algo follows the multiplier rule as well.

It is actually possible that a blind Tellah fail to cast any attack spell successful on a target.

[Deathlike2]

Updated algo to factor in weapons that cast magic when used as an item.

[Deathlike2]

Updated info to factor in elemental immunity.

[Deathlike2]

Clarified sections regarding elementals with a separate thread.

Thanks to Phoenix for his spell hit rate findings, and the algo is updated to reflect that. I would've never noticed or found them myself...

[Deathlike2]

Finally updated the new spell multiplier bit info that affects status effects particularly.

[Deathlike2]

Added a link to the HP damage algo.

[Deathlike2]

Added Phoenix's find on Toad status and monster's "invicibility" to magic info.

[Deathlike2]

I'm currently convinced that all spells that target the allies will always have the targets having 0 magic defense and 0 magic evade.
