Yes, it was really interesting to learn how the probability of a spell failing is calculated, depending on the number of goblins!
Let's say a 15th-level necromancer uses the "Enslave" spell. An orc has 500 goblin shamans. What is the probability that the spell will not work as intended?
15% chance that the spell will fail;

45% chance that the enemy's magic will be reduced by half when calculating the spell's effect;

the same chance (45%) for the spell cost to be doubled;

15% chance that the goblins will be pushed back on the attack rating scale, and if it has a curse effect or deals damage, it will affect the goblins, and the caster will not spend mana.

For example, let's take 10 archmages and a 15th-level mage with skilled chaos magic, who wants to cast "Ice Ring."
825 goblins will block the hero's "Ice Ring," "Fireball," or "Wall";
625 goblins will block the archmages' "Fireball."

Then it should be +18 for 100%.
Is this a hint about the small size of goblins – that they, not having reached adulthood, need to finish school and shouldn't cause trouble?! :D
