Default Re: Question about school bonus sites

I thought that the only thing that made a difference in dispelling was the bonus gems added.

For instance: Gift of Health (50 gems?) with 30 extra nature gems empowering it would have an even chance of being dispelled against an equally powerful Astral mage using 30 extra gems on Dispel.

From what I recall reading the manual the dispel chance is a random die plus extra gems plus five times the caster's skill over the minimum. The same formula is used for both the global and the dispel/new global spell.

From what I've gathered from the boards, casting at a site causes the extra gems between the bonus and the actual casting cost to be wasted.

For Gift of Health at a 20% off site:
40-50 gems are the equivalent of 0 extra
51+ are (gems-50)

If what Agrajag says is correct then I would definitely say it's a bug.
