Dividing vars to get a Percentage
 
I have 2 vars, well actually 3.. @SpellsCast @SpellsSuccess @SpellsFailed

now I want to take these spells to figure out my Percentage of either Success or Failure. When I divide them using @SpellsFailed/@SpellsCast I get 0. Help?

Wherever you go, there you are.

You get zero because the / division operator works only with integers (whole numbers). To get around this, multiply the dividend (@SpellsFailed) by 100 and then do the division.
