Pulse

Pulses are points in time where the restoration of mana, health, experience, and other timed factors occur.

The term "pulse" is most commonly used to refer to mana pulses when characters regenerate expended mana. The interval between mana pulses is 2 minutes on average, but can vary by up to about 15 seconds. Each mana pulse happens simultaneously for all characters in game. Experienced spellcasters can invoke a mana pulse for themselves before the global timer by using the verb MANA PULSE.

When discussing experience absorption rates, a "pulse" refers to the points in time where unabsorbed field experience is processed into actual experience gains. Field experience is absorbed twice per mana pulse, once about halfway through the 2 minute period, and once with the mana pulse at around the 2 minute point.
