magic dueled by the comp...

[Gateway103]

According to Saber Cherry, the mind duel death probabilities are:

-6 :100.000%
-5 :100.000%
-4 : 97.212%
-3 : 91.673%
-2 : 83.331%
-1 : 72.212%
0 : 58.346%
1 : 41.718%
2 : 27.856%
3 : 16.725%
4 : 8.402%
5 : 2.807%
6 : 0.000%

The number to the left is relative astral level. So in your case, the 1 Astral Thurg (the spell caster) has 91.7% of being dead himself. Guess the Thurg beat the odds that time ^_^

In reality though, the situation favors weaker but expendable astral mages more, as a tie roll kills both duelists. So who cares if he loses a few astral 1 Thurgs if he can bring down an Astral 4 mage or pretender with them?
