Spiritual Mana Control, Elemental Mana Control, and Mental Mana Control are the skills that, among other things, allow sending mana to others trained in the same skill.

The maximum amount that can be received by the other person is 95% of what you tried to send, which means it's most effective to send in increments of 20.

It's well known that having 24 ranks of a mana control is perfect for maximizing sharing with another person who also has 24 ranks, but what if the other person is a pure or high level character with far more mana control?

To my knowledge, there isn't a published formula for the exact details of mana sharing, but here are a few benchmarks:

15 ranks share perfectly with another person who has 50.

10 share perfectly with another who has 100.

7 share perfectly with another who has 200.

5 share perfectly with a cleric who has 300.

[Shortly after this, Tsalinx would go on to figure out what's probably the formula...]

Sharing ability = (([character A's skill bonus] * [character B's skill bonus]))/100), expressed as a percent and capped at 100%

i.e.:

24 ranks sharing with 24 = (102 * 102)/100 = 104%

15 ranks sharing with 50 = (70 * 150)/100 = 105%

10 ranks sharing with 100 = (50 * 200)/100 = 100%

7 ranks sharing with 200 = (35 * 300)/100 = 105%

5 ranks sharing with 300 = (25 * 400)/100 = 100%
