Manna (203) creates a lump of bread (some manna bread) that, when eaten, increases a character's mana and spirit regeneration rates, provided that they do not enter combat (attacking, casting a spell of war, or being attacked).
There are 5 bites per loaf, and each bite adds 5 minutes to the rejuvenation effect.
The bread created by this spell will restore a number mana points every minute based on the bread maker's Major Spiritual spell ranks. The formula is 1 + 1 per seed 4 spell ranks. For example, it will provide +5 mana every minute once the caster knows up to spell 222, +8 mana at 249, +12 mana at 299, etc. Non-native casters will not be able to generate more than 1 mana per minute.[1]
This spell will also restore 1 spirit point every 4 minutes. The mana regeneration benefit from manna bread stacks with that of Heroism (215). There is no health regeneration effect from manna bread.
Spiritual Lore, Blessings will add to the consumer's maximum mana at a rate of +5 per seed 10 summation. For example, at 46 lore ranks, it grants +20 maximum mana; at 145 lore ranks, +50 maximum mana. Benefits from other items, such as enhancives, will not push the maximum mana over the +50 cap. Spirit regeneration is not affected by Blessings Lore.
Manna bread spoils quickly. When fresh, it will have a wonderful aroma. When it has no odor, it will not benefit nor harm the eater. When it has a sour odor, it may poison the eater. SNIFFing or SMELLing the bread will display its status. Purify (1604) will restore the manna bread, dependent on the purifier's skill. The mana regeneration rate will be set to 3 + seed 2 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings. The maximum mana lore bonus will be set to 10 + (5 * seed 5 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings). If the existing effectiveness is less than the Paladin or scroll user's skill set, then the stats are not affected, but the food is no longer spoiled.[2]
Messaging
Spell beginning:
>eat my bread
You take a bite of your manna bread.
The spiritual nourishment has a replenishing effect upon you.
That was the last of it!
Mana regeneration pulse:
You feel more refreshed.
Spell ending:
The replenishing effect fades, but you are left with a feeling of wellbeing.
Person looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.
Bread Types
There are many different types of bread that can be created, dependent on the race of the break maker. Each race has a handful of unique options. Not only are the visual descriptions unique, but so is the flavor messaging. Half-Elves will be able to create bread types based upon their culture, or humans, if no culture is selected.
PREParing and CASTing the spell will randomly generate one of the available options. A specific type can be SUMMONed (target the first non-article word in the list that SUMMON brings up. For example, if you want to summon brown bread, SUMMON BROWN). For a list of available options and expected input, type SUMMON while the spell is prepared.
Every race can still make plain manna bread.

- Non-giantman messaging:
