Miscast test results.
Necromutation (8th level necromancy/transmutation):
very lightly contaminated * 13
slow (15 and ??? rounds) * 2
nothing * 2
bad mutation * 1
agony * 1
drained for 8316
Lehudib's Crystal Spear (8th level conjuration/earth):
very lightly contaminated * 14
nothing * 3
yellow glow (1 mutation) * 1
blasted (11 and 33 damage) * 2
Of 40 total failures, we see two individually serious mutations, plus three effects (slowing and agony) with a high potential to be serious. This obviously wasn't a particularly authoritative test, but was good enough to convince me that miscasting a reliable spell can still hurt; given the total number of casts required to produce these bad effects, I'd still refrain from calling miscast protection a compelling reason to worship Sif Muna, but it's at minimum a solid perk.
