Sorcerer's bolt escape nerf

PhoenixWing

The magicka cost for this spell went up higher than 50% somehow.
I guess they forgot to take into account the magicka reduction from armor or something.

My experiments using 7 light armor with all magicka reduction passives from sorc skill trees.
The first cast uses 251 magicka.
The second case uses 446 magicka.

The difference is 195 magicka.

Then I tested without light armor equipped.
The first cast uses 334 magicka.
The second case uses 529 magicka.

The difference is also 195 magicka.

And actually 195 is half of the base cost of the skill (390 magicka) so I guess they forgot the code somehow. 50% is a lot already please do not make them higher than they should be.

I have not tested this yet myself, but it does not surprise me.

"Oh you want to use Bolt Escape to actually escape from something? Lol Too bad. Unless you have 2000 magicka, best you can do is 50 feet."

yeah, reduction was not counted.
