Is it just me or is this spell resisted 99% of the time? I have the adept I version and I still can get it to stick.
I have had no problems with it unless fighting red cons, then resists happen alot, but with all spells
Oh, and taking a look at your stats might help a little. I've noticed that a lot of sorcerer-type mages focus heavily on Int (going for the damage boost) and forget completely about Wis unless it's an incidental on something that also has Int. (No, Wis is not just for them wacky Priests, it affects how much you resist monster spells, and how much they resist yours.)
