why does charisma help with TM?

>Charisma helps in overcoming the magic resistance of your opponent.

Are you sure?

Let me tell story.

1) my MM casts MB on my thief, and stuns him.
2) My thief trains stamina 3 times.
3) My mm casts MB on my thief, same mana as #1, and fails due to MR (mote of light). This makes sense as all stats contribute to MR.
4) my MM circles a bunch. Almost 2,000 TDPs. God bless afk scripting and TF.
5) My MM trains intel up 6-7 points. Casts MB on thief (sama mana as #1), fails due to MR.
6) MM trains up disc 5-6 points. Casts MB, fails due to MR (same mana, 35).
7) MM trains wisdom up a bunch. Csts MB, fails due to MR (35 mana).

At this point I was out of TDPs. I plan on restesting with charisma next time he circle 10-15 times. Charisma may be different, but trend so far is stats no seem to help overcome MR.

Increased PM has helped MM though.

I was under the impression PM only indirectly helped overcoming MR:

More PM -> Lets you put more mana into spell -> More mana overcomes MR.

Or does PM directly overcome MR:
MM with 400 PM fails to MB target at 35 mana.
MM with 500 PM succeeds to MB target at 35 mana.

<<I thought harness let you put more mana into a spell...

Nope.

Primary magic lets you put more mana into a spell.

Harness lets you cast longer by using less of the mana pool.

You say, "True, but that is no reason not to try."

I thought so too, which is why I am interested in the specifics of margash's tests.

As per Valdrik, PM helps overcome MR. The question MARGASH was checking was whether any of the stats help overcome MR.

I've been of the opinion that Charisma has some benefit in this regard but it's entirely possible I'm wrong since I've never actually done any testing.
