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.

This skill directly increases the amount of mana gained per pulse. If this is your primary mana control skill, if you have more ranks in it than Mental Mana Control or Elemental Mana Control, then you will receive a bonus of one mana per pulse for every ten ranks. If this is a secondary or tertiary mana control skill, if you have fewer ranks of spiritual mana control than you do of one of the other two mana controls, then you will receive a bonus of 1 mana per pulse for every twenty ranks. These bonuses stack with the bonuses you receive from any other mana control training.
