#REDIRECT [[Mana]] |
|||
A character's '''mana points''' are determined by his or her mana statistic(s) and [[Harness Power]] skill training. Mana points are the basic unit of cost for magic-based abilities, and therefore characters with a higher mana point capacity are capable of larger quantities of, and/or more advanced, magic. |
|||
Any character whose current mana points are below capacity will receive new mana points upon each 'pulse', which occurs roughly every 2 minutes. A variety of factors, most notably location, affect the quantity of mana received, but it is calculated based upon a percentage of the character's capacity. (Depending on the circumstances, normally between 10%-25%, though amounts slightly outside that range are possible.) |
|||
== Mana Stats == |
|||
Each [[profession]] uses one or two [[statistic]]s to determine its base mana points. The bonus of the statistic, not the value of the statistic itself, is used. |
|||
* The [[Cleric]], [[Paladin]], and [[Ranger]] use [[Wisdom]] as their mana stat. |
|||
* A [[Wizard]] uses [[Aura]] as his or her mana stat. |
|||
* The [[Rogue]], [[Sorcerer]], and [[Warrior]] use both [[Wisdom]] and [[Aura]] as their mana stats. |
|||
* An [[Empath]] uses [[Wisdom]] and [[Influence]] as his or her mana stats. |
|||
* A [[Bard]] uses [[Aura]] and [[Influence]] as his or her mana stats. |
|||
== Mana Point Calculation == |
|||
A character's maximum [[mana]] points are equal to the following: |
|||
* '''Max MP = trunc[(StatBonus1 + StatBonus2) ÷ 4] + Harness Power Bonus''' |
|||
where the [[Harness Power|Harness Power Bonus]] is equal to 3 × Ranks for ranks less than or equal to the character's level, and 1 × Ranks for ranks beyond the character's level. If the character has only one mana [[stat]], use it for both StatBonus1 and StatBonus2. |
|||
'''Example Calculation''' |
|||
Versa is a level 10 [[Elf]] [[Empath]] with a 100 in [[Influence]] and a 98 in [[Wisdom]]; this amounts to bonuses of +35 in [[Influence]] and +24 in [[Wisdom]]. Versa has 15 ranks of [[Harness Power]]. Versa's maximum mana points are: |
|||
trunc[(35+24) ÷ 4] + 3 × (10 ranks) + 1 × (5 ranks) = 14 + 30 + 5 = '''49 MP.''' |
