I posted this over at Central as well, but I feel that by posting it here, there's a better chance of the right people seeing it.
"Okay, so this is a thread I could have made years ago, but for whatever reason, this still bothers me, despite it being such a small issue. Most wizards--especially if you are Storm--will discover fizzles very early on, but neither Ambrose nor Diego in any of their tutorials mention the possibility of fizzling.
Since it would take a long time to rework that start of game tutorial to include an instance in which you fizzle a spell, such a tutorial would probably be added to Diego.
I just think it's extremely weird that neither one tells you a spell can fail. The accuracy listed on the side of the card is easy to miss, and I know that I didn't know about it for the longest time. When I first started playing, I thought a fizzle meant that the card I was using didn't work on the specific mob I was facing (such as fizzling Thunder Snake on a Skeletal Pirate because bones don't conduct electricity or whatever my young mind made up).
I just think it would be helpful to new players to actually tell them about fizzling and spell accuracy through a small tutorial near the start of the game.
I, just like you, had the same issue with fizzling, but i didn't think it was because the spell was not effective, i thought I had to press space bar to make it work (You can imagine what happened after THAT thought). Please KI, you could save allot of parents from kid-tantrums because they're thunder snake didn't work.
