Comprehensive Scale descriptions?

Magic scale influences chance of horror attacks IIRC

> Magic scale increases bloodhunting? This is news to me too.

It is news to me too

Either this is false or it was added when I was addled, or JK added it when I was doing some other stuff.

He might have made bloodhunting dependent on site-setting. I have a vague recollection of this, but I'm not sure if it was just suggestions or actually implemented. I hope it was.

Growth increases the strength of the vines from tangle vines/vine arrows/storm of thorns making it harder to free from them, according to the spell description

Bloodhunting was made dependent on site frequency to bring blood magic down to an equal footing with other magics, since it used to be that even with a site frequency of 0 you had no curbs on blood magic at all.

I never knew that. Is it in the manual somewhere? If not, could you post some numbers? Please?

No numbers that I know of. I know I've seen some posts in the beta forum to that effect. It was one of the main reasons why blood was such a crucial magic in Dom2 (especially with all nations getting some blood randoms there).

Lower site frequency means lower chance of catching blood slaves or you don't get as many as you would with higher site frequency, but I don't know the precise mechanics behind it.
