Hello everyone! Does anyone know and/or have they tested how the Orcs' "Magic Dampening" skill works against the Wizards' "Secret Knowledge" ability? How does it function? I'm specifically interested in a few scenarios:

1. "Magic Dampening" vs. a hero with no magical skills at all.
2. "Magic Dampening" vs. a hero with a skill in a magical school.
3. "Magic Dampening" vs. a hero with the "Secret Knowledge" ability and no skill in a magical school.
4. "Magic Dampening" vs. a hero with the "Secret Knowledge" ability and a skill in a magical school.

In what order are the skills applied when calculating magic effectiveness?

Read the manual.

Basics of Summoning Dampening
When an opponent uses spells from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd circles of Summoning magic, their mastery of Summoning magic decreases by one level (expert skill becomes proficient, proficient becomes novice, novice disappears). If the opponent does not have a skill in Summoning magic, their Magic skill is reduced by 25% when calculating the effect of spells.
Proficient Summoning Dampening
When an opponent uses spells from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd circles of Summoning magic, their mastery of Summoning magic decreases by two levels (expert skill becomes novice, etc.). When an opponent uses spells from the 4th circle of Summoning magic, their mastery decreases by one level. If a spell is cast at the "minus one" level of mastery, the Magic skill is reduced by 25% when calculating the effect; if at the "minus two" level, the Magic skill is reduced by 50%.
Expert Summoning Dampening
When an opponent uses spells from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd circles of Summoning magic, their mastery of Summoning magic decreases by two levels (expert skill becomes novice, etc.). When an opponent uses spells from the 4th and 5th circles of Summoning magic, their mastery decreases by one level. If a spell is cast at the "minus one" level of mastery, the Magic skill is reduced by 25% when calculating the effect; if at the "minus two" level, the Magic skill is reduced by 50%.

Arcane Omniscience does not stack with the level of (1st...3rd) schools of magic. You will only get mass casting if you take the corresponding lords, and other bonuses as well.

The question isn't about that! It's about how the Orcs' Magic Dampening skill affects Arcane Knowledge.
