hi... recently got Instand Death spell for my priest.
Was wondering, what does the power level does to the sucess of the spell? Is it just a straight increase in chance of sucess, or perhaps a more complicated AD&D approach, with higher power levels reducing the enemies "roll" against death?

The reason I enquire is I have found the spell quite difficult to predict... I have had 4 or 5 sucessfulll kills in row on single power level before, yet had constant failure on levels 2 and 3. Perhaps it mostly breaks down to the enemies divine resistance...

Anyway, that said.... BEST SPELL EVER! this has been infinitley usefull & fun for the short time that I have had it... it almost seems too powerful. It's not that useful in most of the harder battles, but its great for picking off pesky ranged enemies, ESPECIALLY fleeing ones that have left the acuracy threshold of your groups ranged specialist. Also great for killing enemies at the back of the pack, speeding up battles that would otherwise be carried by the groups fighters.

I'll leave it at that.. but yeah, anybody know how the spell power levels work?

-thanks.
