Lull lines and resistance checks

I was looking through a spdat from 04-04-2001 and found something interesting that might explain why the lull line was not used much or was flakey. I believe the conventional wisdom that on a tick check the precedence is lvl, mr and then cha in certain cases. I did a quick search on this topic but didn't find much directly relating to this info.

Magic + 25 was a special flag, I forget what for but it wasn't what you're thinking it is.

Edit: found it, it's fizzle adjust (casting difficulty).

I see a different interpretation of that post, that originally there was no magic resist malus then one was added and was later balanced by adding a fizzle adjust and taking away the malus.

Fizzle adjust data starts showing up in 2003 on alla while resists are always there.

That's a limitation of the Lucy parser. Fizzle adjust has been in since vanilla, see Canny fizzle rates for instance.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that I'm totally wrong.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the OP/missing the point, but lulls always seemed like they do have at least a +25mr mod on P99 to me. I mean you can get 10 resists in a row on a lvl 51 mob which is unheard of for any other spell.

I have no way of confirming that hence report.
