Spellcasting statistics

The following tables provide the statistical chances to cast a spell sucessfully given a number of conditions (how many dice the defender is rolling). This data was tabulated by calculating every possiable result and determining success or failure (via a computer of course). The data has gone through about three or four revisions so it should be pretty accurate, however I will admit that I am not perfect and could have messed something up.
