8. Why do enemy spellcasters always have enough mana for level 7 spells no matter how many they've cast and even if they have nasty draining clouds on them?

just numbered them for clarity
1. I don't.
2. I think powerstrike would rather be a multiplier
3. Powercast does do the same thing as powerstrike, but also increases the amount of time your spells last.
4. Magic resistance eiter totally negates an attack or reduces its effectiveness, probably the same is true for armour.
5; Probably depending on your attack rate and opponents armor.
6. I haven't noticed any difference.
7. I don't know of any.
8. Don't know.
