Luck and mind duels

Arcoscephale doesn't have mages with base s4, so he must've used boosters. Only natural talent counts for duels. Communion, boosters etc won't help. But empower may help a little.

I'm still intrigued by the original question. Luck help against things like Soul Slay and Ethereal Crossbow, which are basically 999 magic damage. In theory, Magic Duel might just deal lots of unresistable, AN damage...

So, has anyone tested whether Luck can help you survive a lost duel?

Arcos does get many astrologers with 4s magic though. rarely 5.

In this case it was s4 mages, without boosters or anything.

I know it could be just luck (real life version) but I�d really like to know.

I doubt luck helps. Magic duel seems to be a different animal. Likely just got good rolls. If you are wearing armor of virtue and lose a magic duel, i think you are dead and do not return to the capital. That is an educated guess, however. Did not test it.
