Harness Power is the skill that governs how much mana a character possesses on top of their base starting mana. Each rank of Harness Power gives the character (Harness Power Ranks (capped at level) + Harness Power Skill Bonus) extra mana in their pool.
Harness Power counts as a magical skill for the purposes of runestaff training. For someone not using a runestaff, training 1x to level might be best (i.e. a level 13 sorcerer trains 13 times in this skill.) For a runestaff user training twice more (to the point of "level plus 2", so the level 13 sorcerer would have 15 ranks in this skill) is in general trivial; this only nets a total of 2 more mana points at ranks above 40, and the defense in terms of overall runestaff training makes less than 2% difference in the DS in the example, which diminishes to under 1% at higher levels. However, for the first 40 ranks where the skill bonus per rank is greater than 1, access to the additional mana may be quite desirable.

- Level 100 character with 200 ranks of harness power will have an extra 100 + 300 = 400 mana from the skill.
