'INTELLIGENCE INT' Intelligence is an ability score representing a character's memory, reasoning, and learning ability. High intelligence will allow you to learn more when you practice, gain more mana per level, and regenerate mana faster. Your skills will also improve faster with a high intelligence. Intelligence helps you resist being hit through the DODGE defense. Your INT is compared against the attacker's hitroll to reduce the chance of their attacks landing through your dodge. Reaching maximum DEX and INT together grants a significant dodge bonus. Intelligence extends the duration of several spells, including shield and ice shield. It opposes some enemy debuff durations such as curse and blindness -- higher INT on the caster means a longer affliction, and higher INT on the victim means a shorter one. It also factors into resisting mental effects like phantasmal attacks, where your INT directly opposes the caster's. Intelligence is the prime stat for invokers, illusionists, necromancers, and psionicists.
