The Evaluating Intelligence skill increases the damage and effectiveness of Magery spells. When a spell is cast, its potential damage is calculated based on several factors, including the spell's circle, the mage's spellbook, and relevant skills.
The final damage output is then scaled based on the caster's Evaluating Intelligence skill.
Additionally, Evaluating Intelligence can be used in place of Animal Lore to view a creature's stats.
