Casting Total

From Project: Redcap

In Ars Magica, the Casting Total is used to determine whether a magus successfully casts a spell. The player determines the magus's Casting Total, which includes factors such as his Art scores and the supernatural Aura where the spell is cast, and compares it to the spell level. If the Casting Total is higher than the spell level, then the spell is cast. In some cases, the spell can succeed or partly succeed even if the Casting Total is lower than its level.
