397=head3 How does being attuned/repelled/denied effect casting level?
398
399Some spells are attuned to one or more spell classes (such as wounding,
400summoning, fire and so on). The player can likewise be attuned to some of
401these classes, giving a bonus, or repelled to them, giving a malus, or
402denied to them, making her unable to cast the spell at all.
403
404The casting level is the level of the skill that the spell uses (e.g.
405summoning or sorcery).
406
407When attuned, the bonus is 16 levels, but never higher than the casting
408level itself, i.e. at level 2, the bionus is 4, at level 5, the bonus is
40910 and at level 50, the bonus is 16.
410
411When repelled, the malus is 16 levels always.
412
413These are added (or subtracted) to the skill level when checking whether
414the player can cast th spell and when calculating spell strength.
415
416The effect on strength is as if the minimum spell level is lower (when
417attuned) or higher (when repelled), and the strength will increase the
418same as without any attunement.
419
420=head3 What is the "effective" spell level?
421
422Effective spell levels start at 1 (lowest spell strength) and go up to
423100 (highest nominal spell strength). Higher levels are also possible and
424make the spell correspondingly stronger.
425
426The effective spell level is calculated from the casting level, after
427adding/subtracting any bonus from attunements.
428
429If the casting level is 100 or higher, then this is the effective spell
430level.
431
432If it is lower, then the minimum level comes into play: the minimum level
433is not only the minimum level a caster is required to have, it is also the
434level where the spell strength starts.
435
436When you cast a spell at level 90, which has a minimum level of 90, the
437effective strength will be 1 (lowest). Casting at level 91 gives effective
438strength 10, casting level 98 gives effective strength 80, up to casting
439level 100, which then gives effective level 100.
