What is the calculation here. Can you make this step by step?
Thanks again (my math abilities are a disgrace)
There is a 4/216 (1/54) chance per try to blow up the power stone, meaning there's a 53/54 chance per try to survive the attempt; 50 tries means (53/54)^50 chance of survival (because a failed roll doesn't add a mana point, it should actually be 206/210 ^ 50). Thus, you need to adjust the cost for the chance of blowing up your stone.
