silly question... aether cloak 01/18/2017 01:27 AM CST
I got aether cloak tonight even though Gauthus told me I wouldn't be able to cast it... I can cast it, most of the time. I have casted 3 times successfully, and 3 times it has failed because I 'lack the skill.' I do lack the skill - my warding is 196, and my elemental is 255. My question is, why am I able to cast it sometimes?

Elemental mana will help boost your lacking skills somewhat like melee/range mastery. Having warding mastery spell feat will also boost your ability to cast the spell if you have it. If you don't have it currently if you pick it up you will most likely never fail when you cast it.

There is a random component to spell casting success, and you rolled high a few times.

This and if you were wounded that reduces your spell casting skill equivalent.

If you have a spare spell slot you can also pick up Warding Mastery. Around 180 in the given skill has seemed to work for me with that level of spell difficulty.
