I'm trying to wrap my head around how the energy and concentration costs are calculated. The examples on the SM3 site say:
So if you have a skill level of 12 in fire, casting a Fireball spell or similar effect, which has a power level of 12, has just become possible for you and will result in an energy cost of 12 / 12 = 1
and
So if your skill level in harm is 20, casting a Fireball requires 12 / 20 = 0.6 points of concentration.
The base is linked to the energy cost and the intent is linked to the concentration cost. Correct?
But then the skills page says something apparently contradictory:
So, for example, a magician with harm 12 and fire 20 who throws a Fireball (power level 12) will spend 1 energy and gain 1 XP in harm while spending 0.6 concentration and gaining 0.6 XP in fire.
Is the example from the skills page a misstatement with the intent and base skill levels reversed? Or am I totally misreading it?
