In other words, an esoteric spell might explode you, but the worst a basic spell might do is some torn up arms.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Short Answer: Nope!<br /> <br /> Long Answer: It depends on a lot of variables. If you just absolutely botch a basic spell it could end very poorly for you but I haven&#039;t sat down to run the numbers on if it can actually hit the full scale of fail.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&gt;&gt;2) Right now there is a {{PRel|Magical Feats#Sorcerous Patterns|sorcery feat}} that reduces the chance of a {{PRel|Sorcerous Backlash|backlash}}. Will there be a sorcery feat that reduces the amount of damage when it does happen?&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> It also attempts to mitigate the severity of the backlash as a result of the above math.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&gt;&gt;3) Did the chance of damage increase overall? In other words, if you very rarely backlashed before, are you going to start backlashing more now, even though it&#039;ll probably be lesser damage?&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> No. At this time the chance of backlash was untouched. This is only what happens after you&#039;ve got a &quot;whoops&quot; on your hands.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&gt;&gt;4) Is there any point skill-wise where someone heavily invested in sorcery isn&#039;t going to explode using sorcery? Not saying immune from risk/damage, but just not going to explode themselves and/or severely maim.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Sorta. You&#039;re never going to reach a point that backlash doesn&#039;t happen but if you&#039;re casting conservatively your results won&#039;t randomly spike to &quot;utter failure&quot;.<br /> <br /> -[[Raesh]]<br /> |sub=Sorcery<br /> }}</div>
