Some mages will not cast "resist lightning" -- shocking results are evil, help needed

[tinkthank]

I see, thank you.

I have not seen vast numbers of complaints about this on the Boards, so apparently I am one of the very few who finds this to be extraordinarily suboptimal. Partial resistance is, so to speak, a kick in your own shins.

If there has not yet been a plea to have this revamped (I suppose, however, that this would mean AI rehaul: the AI must love full resistances more than partial resistances), I would hereby like to start that now.

Thank you!
