It starts off with the wisdom roll to see if the spell works, then there is an accuracy roll to see if it would hit, and an evasion roll for the target, to see if they can dodge it. If accuracy is higher than evasion, it hits, if evasion is higher, then it misses.
Then, there is a roll to see the effects of the spell, but it differs for each one.
I hope this is helpful, however someone else might be able to explain it more clearly

What exactly are the rolls? Wisdom roll is d20 + WIS, but what are the rest?

There's also auto-fail and auto-success, which are usually a 5 or 10% chance, meaning you roll a d10, d20 or d100 (depending on what you prefer, but you do have to state beforehand which numbers would cause the auto-fail/success) and then it procs on the 5% or 10% chance.

I'm sorry, I didn't completely understand this. How do you choose, and what exactly does this mean?

Again, it’s d20 add the stat. For the duration rolls, it’s usually d3. I hope this is correct!

So can you fill in the blanks here?

Wisdom Roll – d20 + WIS > WDC = Success
Accuracy Roll – d20 + ACC > ____ = Success
Evasion Roll (For Target) – d20 + EVA (Of Target) > ____ = Success

Wisdom Roll – d20 + WIS > WDC = Success
Accuracy Roll – d20 + ACC > __Evaison roll (for target__ = Successful hit
Evasion Roll (For Target) – d20 + EVA (Of Target) > ___Accuracy of caster_ = Successful dodge.

Thanks! So in this example –
WDC = 9, Wisdom = 8, Accuracy = 5, Evasion (Of target) = 6
• d20(11) + WIS(8) = 19 > 9 – Spell is a success
• d20 (13) + EVA(6) = 19 > 5 – Successful dodge
• d20(07) + ACC(5) = 12 < 19 (Should this be the evasion roll?) – Spell missed

This confuses me.
It should instead follow this

Attacking Spell
1. Wisdom Roll vs Wisdom DC [a difficulty number that must be equal to or higher than to be a successful cast]. This is a 1d20+Caster's Wisdom.
2. Caster's Accuracy vs Target's Evasion [this is two 1d20 rolls, contesting. First you roll 1d20+Caster's Accuracy. Second you roll 1d20+Target's Evasion. You will compare the result of both. If the Accuracy is higher, it hits. If the Evasion is higher, the spell misses. If the result is the same (same number), then it's an impaired hit, typically meaning half of the effect is taken/damage.
3. Duration [different spells have different durations, some 1d2, some 1d3, some 1d6. Typically to determine if a spell lasts anywhere from 0 to 3 rounds.]
4. Damage [you will use the damage formula and apply the caster's arcane power here if they did hit the target. If not, you do not roll for duration or damage. You end their turn there. Unless specified otherwise.]

Healing Spell
1. Wisdom Roll vs Wisdom DC [1d20+Caster's Wisdom]
2. Health regained [you will use the healing formula and apply the caster's arcane here unless specified otherwise.]

Let's use your stats and my stats for this example and two spells.
Your stats | Stamina – 7 | Evasion – 5 | Strength – 5 | Wisdom – 8 | ArcPower – 5 | Accuracy – 5
My Stats | sta 10 • eva 13 • str 0 • wis 10 • arc 11 • acc 10
Damage Spell (for the damage example): Flipendo
Healing Spell (for the healing exampel): Reparifors

Damage Example
Vladislav Casts Knockback Jinx against Julia
Knockback Jinx WDC 9
Wisdom: 1d20 (5) + 10 = 15 [success]
Vladislav's Accuracy: 1d20 (5) + 10 = 15
Julia's Evasion: 1d20 (6) + 5 = 11 [hit]
Duration: none
Damage: 100 + AP (11) × 15 = 265

Healing Example
Vladislav Casts Reparifors on Teammate
Reparifors WDC 11
Wisdom: 1d20 (5) + 10 = 15 [success]
Healing: 50 + AP (11) × 8 = 138

*confused* No... I am just talking about how to calculate a simple spell success/hit/miss.

For example if I cast incendio on Vlad, how would the WIS, ACC, and, EVA rolls work?

Explanation Cleaner Look?

Targeting Spells
1. Wisdom Roll vs WDC
1d20 + Caster's Wisdom
This determines whether the spell successfully casts at all. Compare the result of the Wisdom Roll to the set WDC of the spell.
This is also where Critical Success and Critical Failure is determined.
Critical Success is a natural 20 on a Wisdom Roll

Reducio

Altered By
- Seer Y5 Indiscriminate Knowledge (+1 Crit Success Range)
- Part Veela Y7 Tempermental (+3 Crit Success Range)
- Parselmouth Y7 Dark Heritage (+1 Crit Success Range)
- Advanced Casting (+1 Crit Success Range)
- Wandmaker: Curupira (+1 Crit Success Range)

Critical Failure is a natural 1 on a Wisdom Roll

Reducio

Altered By
- Dhampir Y1 Magical Menace (+1 Crit Fail Range)
- Werewolf Y7 Intimidation (+1 Crit Fail Range (others not self))
- Part Giant Y1 Unskilled Caster (+2 Crit Fail Range)
- Part Goblin Y3 Wandless (+1 Crit Fail Range when casting wandlessly)
- Seer Y5 Indiscriminate Knowledge (crit fail immunity/cannot crit fail)
- Part Veela Y7 Tempermental (+1 Crit Fail Range)
- Nonverbal Magic (+1 Crit Fail Range only when casting nonverbally)
- Perfectionist I (-1 Crit Fail Range)
- Perfectionist II (crit fail immunity/cannot crit fail)
- Spell Spread (+1 Crit Fail Range)
- Terrible Presence (+1 Crit Fail Range)
- Wandless Magic (+1 Crit Fail Range only when casting wandlessly)
- Wandmaker: Unicorn Tail Hair (-2 Crit Fail Range)
- Wandmaker: Curupira (+1 Crit Fail Range)

2. Accuracy vs Evasion (Contested Roll)
Only rolled if the spell was successfully cast.
Caster: 1d20 + Accuracy
Target: 1d20 + Evasion
Compare the two results.

• Higher Accuracy = Hit
• Higher Evasion = Dodge
• Same Number = Impaired Hit (half effect)

3. Duration
Only rolled if the spell hits.
Not all spells use duration. Different spells use different dice. This determines how many rounds the spell's effects last.

4. Damage
Only dealt if the spell hits.
Use the spell's damage formula and plug in Arcane Power.

Healing Spell
1. Wisdom Roll vs WDC
1d20 + Caster's Wisdom
This determines whether the spell successfully casts at all.

2. Healing Amount
Only healed if the spell was a success.
Use the spell's healing formula and plug in Arcane Power.

AS FOR JULIA CASTING INCENDIO ON VLAD
Just follow the order for targeting spells above.

First. Roll Julia's Wisdom against Incendio's WDC 9.
-- Did the 1d20+Julia's Wisdom beat the Incendio WDC of 9? If yes, proceed to step 2. If no, stop now.

Second. Roll Julia's Accuracy (1d20+Julia's Accuracy) against Vladislav's Evasion (1d20+Vlad's Evasion).
-- Was Julia's roll the exact same result as Vlad's roll? If yes, it is considered an impaired hit. You may proceed to step 3 but be aware that Vlad does not take full damage or the full impact of the effects. See the impaired section of the spell's information in the Duelling or Broom Racing Spell List. If no, was it higher or lower? See the next question.
-- Was Julia's roll higher than Vlad's roll? If yes, proceed to step 3. If no, it missed!

Third. Roll for Duration (1d6)
-- Was the roll a 1, 2, or 3? If yes, they are not set aflame and do not take aflame damage, but they will take normal incendio damage.
-- Was the roll a 4 or 5? If yes, they are set aflame and will take aflame damage (-40) for ONE ROUND. They will also take normal incendio damage as well.
-- Was the roll a 6? If yes, they are set aflame and will take aflame damage (-40) for TWO ROUNDS. They will also take normal incendio damage as well.

Fourth. Apply Incendio's Damage | 50 + AP × 15
Julia's Arcane Power is 5. The new formula should look like this: 50 + (5 x 15). Using the order of operations, the damage applied from casting incendio is 125. Vlad's health will lose 125 from this damage.

And that is how you roll for Incendio.

Are you referring to the explanation I was trying to give/simplify? .. I'm aware it's missing auto-fail, auto-hit, auto-dodge and such. I'm trying to simplify

ah... srry im just kinda confused

Sorry to change the subject matter of the question, but I'm planning on making my iNPC be a muggle-born and I was wondering if I could have my iNPC be a Parselmouth and also go to Tenusa?
