Question about spellcasting

[daddystabz]

If you fumble on a spell check what is the procedure please? I cast Flaming Hands in a game last night and simply rolled misfire but after reading the description of fumbles it seems I should have possibly done more. Do you have to roll every category each time? Misfire, corruption and the fumble?

Depends on the spell check results. They're different for each spell.

You have to look up in the spell results under the "1" entry. Most spells require a die roll that determines the exact fumble result. For Flaming Hands the fumble result is:

"Lost, failure, and worse! Roll 1d6 modified by Luck: (0 or less) corruption + patron taint + misfire; (1-2) corruption; (3) patron taint (or corruption if no patron); (4+) misfire."
