Game Mechanics: Spell fizzle rates with respect to spell skill

[Azureblaze]

Yeah as an enchanter I'm also seeing this 3 fizzles in a row issue, I never saw it before the last patch. Seems to mostly happen on Alteration spells, but I cast those the most. Have noticed it the most on Clarity. Its strange because whenever it DOES fizzle 3 times in a row it always works on attempt # 4.

Also : I remember spells fizzling a lot more at lower skill levels than they do on P99.

Back in 99 I remember having to practice my spell skills so I would be able to cast them effectively. I didn't have to bother with that on P99.

I have 3 fizzle in a row for a number of times healing my xp group last night too. Same thing like the other, alteration spell only

Not sure if it's bugged too..

I remember doing this.

Also invisibility (divination) would usually be a problem for me due to not having high div, Don't think i had much of a problem with this.
