Mental Mana Control
The Mental Mana Control skill serves the same purpose as Spiritual Mana Control and Elemental Mana Control; it determines the efficiency with which a player can control the flows of mana of the Mental realm. Mana Control skill has an effect on a wide variety of spells and magical abilities.
MMC also factors into avoiding spell burst, runestaff defense, and some alchemy skills (mainly determining success at the training cauldrons).

Spells and Abilities Affected by Mental Mana Control
Mana sharing
This skill allows you to share mana with other players who also have some Mental Mana Control skill by using the SEND (verb). The mana transferred is:
| Mana Sent × 0.95 × [Sender's MMC skill / 100] × [Receiver's MMC skill / 100] |
Mana gain
This skill can directly increase the amount of mana gained per pulse.
| Profession | Status | Effect on mana per pulse |
|---|---|---|
| Bard | Primary if MMC > EMC, otherwise Secondary | +1 mana per pulse for every 10 ranks if primary, 20 ranks if secondary |
| Empath | Primary if MMC > SMC, otherwise Secondary | +1 mana per pulse for every 10 ranks if primary, 20 ranks if secondary |
| Monk | Primary if MMC > SMC, otherwise Secondary | +1 mana per pulse for every 10 ranks if primary, 20 ranks if secondary |
| All others | Auxiliary | Does not affect mana per pulse |
If both skills are equal, an arbitrary one is concerned primary; for the purposes of calculating how much mana you gain per pulse, it doesn't matter which one is chosen.

Scrolls and Magical Items
Characters trained mana controls to gain applicable additional benefits from spells activated by items using Magic Item Use or scrolls using Arcane Symbols will receive full benefits when the spell cast through the item/scroll is a native learned spell to the character's profession, a minor circle spell, or known through a spell knowledge enhancive item. When the spell is a major circle or unknown profession base spell, only half of the pertinent mana control ranks count toward the effect of the spell activated/invoked.
