If not do anything, that is desirable IMHO considering AT_MAGIC is supposed to be only on spells and similar, and the saving throw is supposed to affect all spells. If it's currently causing partial damage with that, then I would say it's bad behavior. > * death attack can success only if hitter level is twice the victim level. > That sounds pretty arbitrary, no? It does seem pretty arbitrary, but IMHO some limit is needed and that seems like as reasonable a place as any.
