-You are almost always comparing a roll result or modified roll to a Difficulty Value to see if something failed or succeeded. Whether you are fighting, making an amulet, jumping, climbing, or throwing a fireball, ALL THESE THINGS HAVE A DIFFICULTY RATING TO ACCOMPLISH THEM. Beat THAT with luck, Skills and Attributes, and success is yours!
+The majority of these rules all hinge on this prioritizing idea: The idea of overcoming a Difficulty Rating to achieve or not achieve a result.

 Spells that have been cast have LEVELS. The level a spell is the difference between the final result of the roll minus the difficulty rating. So this Fil scorching spell is a LEVEL 6!
-So, once again, you roll a die, add modifiers and compare it to a difficulty rating to see if you successfully did the act and see how well it turned out.
