Evaluate Intelligence is also involved in calculating the potential damage done by spellcasters. When you cast a spell, the potential damage is calculated based on several factors, such as the spell, the circle, the casters ability, etc. (call this base damage). The damage then gets scaled based on the mage's Evaluate Intelligence and the victim's Magic Resist. The scaling can range in intensity based on the difference between these two skills. If Eval Intel is larger than Resist, then full damage is taken.

After this calculation, the victim still has a chance to resist the spell. The difficulty of resisting the spell is again based on several factors. If you are successful in resisting, you get the resist spell message, and the damage is decreased.
