Note: when calculating mana costs for extra spells cast using Basic & Advanced Thaumaturgy, the new mana cost will often wind up having a fraction involved. Due to the way the game is coded, when the fraction is exactly .5, it will round the number to the nearest whole even number.

For example:

Energize is an Arcane spell that costs 10 mana. On a second cast with Thaumaturgy, it will wind up being 22 mana to cast despite the math being:
( 10 + (10 x 1.25) ) = 22.5, or 23 if you were to round it up.

Enlarge Shadow is a Nightshade spell that costs 6 mana. On a second cast, the math comes out to 13.5 ( 6 + (6 x 1.25) ), but this time is rounded up since 14 is the closest even number.

This will almost never be something you actively have to consider during combat, but it is still interesting to know why you sometimes get mana cost numbers that seem like they don't quite line up with each other.
