Testing

Testing Notes:

Each 10 points of main stat for each spell effects the number of dice rolled (Example, Mind Bolt at level 1, never been used, went from 1d7 to 2d7 when going from 9 to 10 charisma)

Each level of the spell increases cast chance by 1% (or thereabouts)

Each other level (level 3, 5, etc) increases dice value (Example, above mind bolt went from 2d7 to 2d8 at spell level 3, with no increase to casting skill or stat)

For non-damage spells, spell level increases cast chance and duration.
