Is there a problem with the spellcasting system in 040923?  Wizard mode tests indicate that a level 30 Wizard with 20 Int, 100% skill in attack spells and a robe of power still has a 90% failure rate on finger of death.  I'm hesitant to put down "rebalanced spellcasting success rates" until I know this isn't a bug that was addressed in 081221.
