god, what's so hard to understand?
the 50% of failing isnt 50% of the total 100%, its 50% of the failure rate only which is 70% (cuz it works 30% of the time).
therefore, there is a 35% chance for the item to be destroyed and 35% for the scroll to fail w/o destroying the item.
same goes with 70% scrolls, they have 70% scucces rate and 30% failure rate, which means 15% of the 30% will destroy ur item while the other 15% will only fail the scroll.
try to not look at it as 50% but as a half.
