I studied the charts on your site, and I really don't see how a INT/Soul penalty works into this? (I'm playing a NES rom) Frioniel was casting Holy5 and doing in the low 200s dmg with it the other night with genji equipment and all sorts of fun stuff, and now, I've got him equipped with the masamune, ribbon, and black robe, which are all supposed to be with no penalty at all, and it's still doing damage in the low 200s.

Just to make sure, I requipped him with all the equipment supposedly penalizing magic-- sun sword, genji helmet, a shield, genji armor, diamond glove, and he's still doing in the low 200s with holy5.

I equipped Guy similarly, except bare fisted instead of with masamune, and he had been doing about 30-40 dmg with holy1 and he's still doing about 30-40 dmg like this.
