I've given up on mathematical formulation...... It is so dependent upon situation..... and so difficult to reuse.

At this point I'm a firm believer in exhaustive simulation. Just keep extending the codebase..... and then plug-and-chug. Call me a Neanderthal...... but that's just where I'm at these days.
From what I understand, a miss, even if it was changed to a hit, was never meant to crit. Therefore, no mana will be lost to misses.

I would like to know how this affects frost mages, because frost bolt has a base 7% chance to miss a raid boss no matter what, because of the binary nature of the spell.
