<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=765305907-29072009>I can't remember the

one big spell at 60%. Similarly, the small spells are more likely to be bounced
by protective magic. I once had a player sorceror kill himself by sending 17
1-point Venoms at a big monster, not knowing that it had a "reflects 1
point spells" chaos feature.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV></FONT>
