General

This skill is a must have for every mage, it increases your offensive spell damage. Eval Int can also be used directly on another player, NPC or monster to determine their approximate intelligence as well as the amount of mana they have (76 eval int required).

Spell damage modification: A mage with 100 Eval Int will do 20% more damage against a target with 0 resist. On the other hand if a mage has 0 eval, his spells will do 20% less damage against someone with 100.0 Resist spells.

Intelligence	Evaluation
1-9	Slightly less than a rock
10-19	Fairly stupid
20-29	Not the brightest
30-39	About average
40-49	Moderately intelligent
50-59	Very intelligent
60-69	Extremely intelligent
70-79	Extraordinarily intelligent
80-89	Like a formidable intellect, well beyond even the extraordinary
90-99	Like a definite genius
100+	Superhumanly intelligent in a manner you cannot comprehend

Skill Training

• Active training: You can gain Eval int by using the skill on different players, NPCs or monsters. Because Eval int is affected by the anti macro code, you need a lot of different targets to gain at high levels. Skill training this way becomes nearly impossible after 50-60.
  
  
• Passive training: Every time you cast a spell, there's a chance that your Eval Int increases. Skill gain this way is location based, so the best way to GM is to cast spells on a boat. This can be either done while working on magery, or you can use a cheap spell like poison (cost: 3 gp). Once you gain use 8x8.
  
  
• A UO Assist Macro you could use as defined by XvekeZ:
  
  Use Skill (med)
  Wait for mana (what's a level 1 spell? 4?) 4
  Cast Spell (magic arrow)
  Target tillerman
  Pause 1700
  8x8 it
