=== Mana Cost === |
|||
The spell formerly had a variable [[mana]] cost equal to the target's [[level]] divided by two. The minimum mana cost was one mana, while the maximum mana cost was twenty. If this spell was activated from a magical item, it would not affect targets higher than level two. If invoked from a scroll, the spell would take one mana from the scroll, and the remaining mana will be taken from the caster. |
|||
Sleep does not follow the standard [[mana]] cost of its [[spell level]], but rather a scaling cost based on the the target's [[level]] and is equal to the seed 1 [[summation]] against the target's level. A level 1 target costs 1 (Sum 1 equals 1) mana, while a level 105 target costs 14 mana (Sum 14 equals 105.) |

However, the spell was changed in October 2007, and the following news was released in-game: |

The mana cost of the spell has been changed from 1 mana per 2 levels of the target, capped at 20 mana to a summation seed 1 based off of the target's level. That is, a level 1 target costs 1 mana whereas a level 105 target costs 14 mana. This mana cost grows at a much slower rate than the previous one. |

The restriction of only being able to use Sleep cast from a magic item on a level 2 target has been removed. Also, when casting Sleep from a [[scroll]], the spell will no longer take mana from the caster. |

The duration of Sleep was previously determined solely by the level of the caster. Duration is now based off of the warding margin (endroll). |

=== Revision Analysis === |
|||
The October 2007 changes have adjusted the effectiveness of the spell in the following ways: |
|||
* Mana costs at medium and high levels are now markedly lower. |
|||
* Imbedded Sleep items (most likely wands and rods) are now markedly more useful. |
|||
* Sleep can no longer be cast in Sanctuary areas. |
|||
* Significant changes in the duration of effect, but these are probably insignificant for hunting purposes, as being attacked would break the effect of the spell anyway. |

The Sleep spell causes the target to become overwhelmed with relaxation, possibly to the point that the creature falls unconscious. Creatures that do not sleep naturally, such as constructs and undead, are not affected by this spell.
Mana Cost
Sleep does not follow the standard mana cost of its spell level, but rather a scaling cost based on the the target's level and is equal to the seed 1 summation against the target's level. A level 1 target costs 1 (Sum 1 equals 1) mana, while a level 105 target costs 14 mana (Sum 14 equals 105.)
Duration
The duration of the Sleep effect is based off the resulting warding margin.
Special Rules
When imbedded by the Magic Item Creation (420) spell or charged by the Charge Item (517) spell, Sleep counts as a level 8 spell to emulate the variable mana cost for different targets. The restriction of only being able to use Sleep cast from a magic item on a level 2 target has been removed. Also, when casting Sleep from a scroll, the spell will no longer take mana from the caster.
Sleep is considered a spell of war.
