I've got an Int build in progress and just scored Big Hat's catalyst along with the TCC. I have my int at 45 currently (working up to 50max). I've been using this http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Magic+Adjustment to figure out what catalyst I should be using at any particular level to get the most out of my magics. However, once I had both the TCC and Big Hat's catalyst, I did a little comparison damage testing on the knights in Anor. I started out with homing crystal soul mass. Big hats did 627. TCC did 597. (I'm trying to remember the exact numbers from yesterday, they may be off a little but the jest is there.) Then, I tried homing soul mass. The numbers were reversed. TCC did about 640 and big hat did 591. Then I tried soul arrows and big hat out performed the TCC every time. I guess my question is, does the TCC produce more damage with non-crystal spells? Or am I missing something? I have searched high and low for a logical explanation of the magic adjustment mechanics of this game and I have come up empty. Any geniuses out there want to try to explain it to a noob!?
