Spiritual Mana Control

The Spiritual Mana Control skill serves the same purpose as Mental Mana Control and Elemental Mana Control; it determines the efficiency with which a player can share mana with other players. Clerics, Sorcerers, and Empaths are the Pure professions that benefit the most from SMC, along with the Ranger and Paladin Semi professions. The maximum benefit for sharing mana is achieved at twenty-four ranks, though many casters continue to train in it to aid some of their spells, increase the rate of return of their mana, or compensate for another player's low skill. It should be noted that even at maximum efficiency, there is still approximately a 5% loss of mana during the transfer.
