This stat only has a single effect: It controls when the Mage and Priest learn spells.

Mage		Priest
Spell	INT Needed	Spell	INT Needed
Flying Dagger	20 INT	Antidote	20 INT
Flame Wall	50 INT	Protect	40 INT
Blizzard	90 INT	Recover	90 INT
Lightning Bolt	120 INT	Heal 2	120 INT
Explosion	150 INT

It's a little confusing why the developers went to the trouble of implementing a stat that only two of the game's four classes can use, especially when they could have tied learning magic spells to the player's level instead. This was probably meant to effect spell power at some point, but in the final game the power of the Wizard and Priest's spells are static. That doesn't explain why the Fighter and Ninja have their own growths for this stat instead of just zeroing it out like MP, though.

As expected, this stat is used in lieu of defense when calculating damage taken from magic-based attacks. See the table below for details on which attacks this effects. Note also that all equipment that increases defense also increases the wearer's magical defense by the same amount.

* Unused value - enemies can't award experience points due to an oversight in the code. See main article for more information.

† Unused value - enemy is invincible and can't award experience points or gold.

‡ Unused value - the player can't come in direct contact with the Fire Elemental due to invisible barriers surrounding the fire pits in its arena.

Note that the game adds a pseudo-random value to the enemy's experience yield. This bonus is based on the player's X position at the moment the enemy is killed:

• In Rounds 1 to 2, the bonus is (XPos mod 3).
• In Rounds 3 to 5, the bonus is (XPos mod 7).
• For bosses, the bonus is (XPos mod 15).

The game does the same thing for gold, but the bonus is always (XPos mod 7).

Miscellaneous

Base spell damage values:

• Fireball: 12 damage.
• Flying Dagger: 32 damage per projectile.
• Flame Wall: 38 damage. Can hit a target up to 7 times.
• Blizzard: 42 damage. Can hit a target up to 4 times.
