This is an excellent point - my Master 1 Abhorrence, for example, has a 32 percent chance to reduce all stats, and is less resistable than Malignancy, which is a higher level spell with only a 28% chance to reduce all stats.

If Abhorrence and Malignancy do exactly the same thing, which as far as I can tell is true on beta, why would I ever want to replace Abhorrence with Malignancy?

Even if I got a Master 1 of Malignancy, why would I even scribe it if I was no better off than I would be using my existing Master 1 Abhorrence?

I think the upgrades for Abhorrence and Degenerate need to either reduce a greater percent of stats, or add some feature, or be less resistable, otherwise they have no purpose, and I would never bother replacing the lower spells.

Thank you


That's how every spell is.  Master 1 is better than the adept 3 upgrade.  Seems to be intentional.  There has been no fix yet.
Thats not true. I just checked my Master 1 damage spell (infestation) and my buffs (ghastly shroud, malevolent efflux) and the Adept 3 upgrade is better. The new single ward is also better at Adept 3 than the old one at Master 2. The problem is purely with the percentage debuffs.
