In reference to the minimum chance, I think it is 10%.  There's an
example in the Game Orders book under the S1/S2 Practice orders.
There is also a cap to the guild bonus of 50% of your base chance.

For example:

Last turn I had a Seer-37 practicing Seer skill in a level-60 Magic Guild.
The bottom line said that I had "Only a Prayer" of succeeding.
I think that translates into 10% base chance + 5% guild bonus:
(5% being 50% of 10%).

I assume that if I put additional crowns into the practice attempt
that it would have no effect on my chances.

I guess I won't waste too many orders practicing that guy!  :^(

Later,
