I'm pretty sure that MA and Int are seperate values now.
I think one reason for the formula change (aside from the previous one being stupid) is the % stat increases. If a high level mage with 1000 int gets a bonus of 10%, that's 100 extra MA. If one can get +25% int total, that's 250 extra MA; then add on whatever +%MA they get to that. If he already had 1000 int and then 200 MA, then first he would have 1450 MA and +10% MA would be 1595 MA, up from 1200.
The point of all those maths was to show % stat increases for mages made the formula even more broken.
