The rules say that a mage use add his ML only, and not 1/2 his MEL as well,
as his MDV when unconsious.

We allow players to substract MDV when they want a spell to succeed on them.
And they may also choose NOT to use the opposing effect from any items they
have. We also allow unconsious players not to oppose a spell, i.e. not add
MDV to the roll.
