+10 Int bow vs Enhancer staff: spell powah
How much +int does a weapon need to rival an enhancer staff for improving spell power? Does the answer depend on base int?
My complete guess would be more, much more than +10, but a) that guess could be completely wrong and b) the bow in question has other uses, such as firing arrows at distant mobs, and not being hexed.
/of course the bow has Contam, so even if the spell power indicators were more granular, I would be reluctant to just swap and see.
//this might be the first time I ever have been happy to wear a chain mail.
///really should train and learn some more conjurations.
