What is the dispel power of a node to other realms of magic?
I cast confusion (20 pt) with blue-specialist (x2 resist dispel), and ruin master (x1.5 resist dispel).
Thus the total power to resist dispel should be 20pt x 2 x 1.5 = 60pt.
But I experience more than 2/3 of my confusion dispelled by the node (a green node).

So, the dispel power of a node is larger than 120?      120/(120+60) = 2/3

We know the blue-specialist make confusion casting down to 14. But in the dispel formula, we should use 20 not 14, because it's wizard's ability (retorts) to save casting power due to knowledge of more effective way of casting. The strength should be the same, Thus 20pt should be counted toward the dispel formula.

The version I played is v5.42

I completely agree with you, but right now I believe it's the effective cost of the spell that is used. This is particularly terrible for divine order life spells - not to mention divine order making combat spells more effective.

Dispel power is 60. Effective cost of the spell is used. I would prefer base cost but I can't do it. It's very difficult to separate the slider cost (which is part of base cost) from the cost modifiers (which are not) and range modifiers (which also aren't). For the time being I'm just happy the AI is no longer spending negative mana on sliders or cause mana underflow.
