I’m confused about what skill is used to roll a spell. I must be missing it somewhere, but on page 25 it says you don’t get a base chance in secondary skills so I assume the “Elementalism” secondary skill doesn’t get a base chance. On page 59 it talks about rolling a spell and failure. So how does a Mage roll Animism? I would assume they use INT to establish their base chance and double it if they’re trained, but I can’t find that explained in the book.
Magic schools are secondary skills, no one gets base chance in them unless you are trained in them. As a mage, you have twice your base chance in the magic school that you selected to be trained in.Each school of magic is a separate secondary skill. As a newly created mage you may select one school as a trained skill (based on INT). You don't get a base chance in magic schools that you are not trained in, even as a mage. <>
