Boomerang effect when casting energy burst
   

Just started. I made a mage with 6 fire magic and 9 wizardry. Each time I cast energy blast my monk apologizes and the burst comes boomeranging right back at him killing him, lol. What's going on? Is my fire magic too low at 6? I have it set to power level 3.

When skill levels are low, it can backfire. If you look at the power levels, they'll be different colors. These colors represent the chance of failure. Green is safe, yellow is a chance of backfire, red is signing your own death warrent.

That's cool. If you attempt a spell in the red power level is it a guaranteed backfire, or is there a chance to cast it successfully?

There's a chance it'll succeed. There's a much bigger chance that it won't though.
