'''SEND''' is used to send [[mana]] to other characters in the same room. The sender and receiver must have matching training in one of the three respective Mana Control skills ([[Elemental Mana Control|Elemental]], [[Mental Mana Control|Mental]], [[Spiritual Mana Control|Spiritual]]). The more combined training the pair has, the more mana that will be sent, up to a maximum of 95%. One character's over training will make up for the under training of another as sender or receiver. When sending mana, the amount taken from the sender will never exceed the max amount possible for the receiver to accept, and no mana will be lost if both parties have no common Mana Control skill abilities.

The following formula is approximately correct for typical cases. Beyond what is specified here, there is an effective limit on combined skill that enforces the 95% cap.
