• Magery: This skill determines which spells you can cast, and how powerful they are.
• Meditation: Med determines how fast you regenerate mana, which is used to cast spells.

Casting Chances Table

From UO.com: To have a better chance of gaining skill from successfully casting a spell, you should focus on the circles of magic that give you a 25%-50% chance of success, versus choosing circles that offer a higher success rate. The lower your chance of success when casting a spell, the higher the probability of actually gaining a skill point when you eventually succeed and cast the spell.

Circle	1%	25%	50%	75%	100%
First	-	-	0	10	20
Second	-	5	15	25	35
Third	9	19	29	39	49
Fourth	24	33	43	53	63
Fifth	38	48	58	68	78
Sixth	52	62	72	82	92
Seventh	67	76	86	96	106*
