Corkian amplifiers and positive spell costs

Hello fellow mythic gamblers. Why are good heal cost Fatals and good spell cost Hadals so rare? As I’m not sure whether it is known that Corkian amplifiers increase cost % rolls, I’m here to remove confusion and show you why they in fact do increase cost % rolls. So please do not roll Fatal and Hadal with amplifiers unless the behavior is changed in (maybe in Wynncraft 2.0?).

I bought the unique low level reliks Flux and Flow and Little Machine. This is because experimenting on mythics is rather expensive. These reliks have a significant + % totem cost which is large enough to be noticeably affected by Corkian amplifiers of tier 2. I rolled the reliks 44 times total using 44 Corkian amplifiers. The result of this rolling session is that with a significance level of about 2.6%, I can say that Corkian amplifiers increase % rolls.

See below for the boring rolling footage and statistical details.

Spoiler: Boring

I performed a simple statistical test with the null hypothesis corresponding to amps not affecting the way in which + % costs are rolled. If all 44 relik rolls were done without any amps, each of the Flux and Flow rolls had a 8/101 chance to have a totem cost lower than 8% and each of the Little Machine rolls had a 8/101 chance to have a totem cost lower than 10%. This means that the probability of observing 0 of such rolls when not using amplifiers is really small (1-8/101)^44=0.026. However, of course, none of such rolls occurred when using amplifiers, implying that amplifiers increase + % ids.

TL;DR Corkian amplifiers cause positive spell cost % ids to be higher (which is worse).
