The price of the spell forgetfulness potions has been divided by 4. The AP and MP loss dodge system has been revised. The new dodge system enables you to take away AP and MP more easily, but makes it harder to take away the entire loss that the spell can cause. When taking away X AP/MP, now for each AP/MP among the X initial ones, a dodge roll is made. The target's dodge percentage will be, between each roll, reduced according to a coefficient which depends on the spell caster's wisdom (this coefficient is currently equal to 0.1). This new system won't change anything for the players who do not have or have little basic dodge. This system prevents people from being invulnerable to AP/MP loss if they have a resistance to AP/MP loss superior or equal to 100% This system enables you to make your 'take AP/MP away'-spells a lot more profitable since they won't be completely dodged. This system reinforces the interest of the massive 'take AP/MP away'- spells. This way, a character that has 400 in wisdom will reduce, in his first attempt to AP/MP loss, the resistances to AP/MP loss of his opponent by 40%. In his second attempt, he will reduce again by 40% the resistances of his opponent and so on. In between two different spells, the target's dodge rate will obviously be back to its maximum.
