	A [[miscast effect]] occurs when a player fails to cast a spell successfully. These can range in severity from completely harmless to inflicting heavy damage and [[magic contamination]], depending on the school of magic, the spell level, and the degree of failure. Players wishing to protect themselves from miscasts should focus on increasing the [[spell success]] rate, as this reduces both the frequency and intensity of miscasts. Additionally, miscasts from some schools of magic produce elemental damage that can be resisted.		A [[miscast effect]] occurs when a player fails to cast a spell successfully.

 Miscasting a spell from any school causes [[contamination]] based on the spell level and degree of failure (which can range from 1 to 99 for spells that are almost impossible to cast; higher success rate reduces the maximum range):
