The maximum amount of mana a caster may steal on any given cast of Mana Leech is determined by the caster's number of [[Major Elemental]] spell ranks, minus one (1) mana for the cost of the casting (e.g. a caster with 50 ranks in Major Elemental spells will be able to steal a maximum of 49 mana from its target). This is not capped at level. |

Across multiple casts, a caster can leech a total amount of mana equal to their maximum mana capacity. Over time the capacity to leech mana recovers (see Recovery Time table below). The message: '''''You no longer feel the effect of casting mana leech.''''' indicates that the caster has fully recovered from the effects of Mana Leech (they can once again leech up to their maximum mana capacity). |

Training in [[Elemental Mana Control]] (EMC) provides multiple benefits: |
|||
===Efficiency of Mana Drain=== |
|||
EMC determines the percentage of mana that is successfully transferred to the caster, with 100% efficiency achieved at 100 skill. |
|||
:*With 0 skill in EMC, no mana will be successfully drained, even if the warding roll succeeds. |
|||
:*With 50 skill in EMC, for example, 50% of the expected mana will be drained. |
|||
The number of ranks that can be applied towards this percentage is capped at the caster's level. |
|||
*As a wizard continually uses 516, the amount of mana they can receive lessens. In a session of leeching, assuming no time has passed in between, the wizard can in total leech as much mana as their head can hold. ie. A wizard with a 200 mana capacity can leech 200 mana in a row without resting. |
|||
:*i.e. a caster at level 20 may only have 20 ranks of EMC apply, which is 90 skill and thus 90% maximum mana drain efficiency. |
|||
===Mana Drained from Target=== |
|||
EMC will increase the amount of mana drained from a target by [[skill bonus]]/10. |
|||
:{| {{prettytable|text-align:center;}} |
|||
*Assuming that the target has enough mana and the end roll is high enough, a first successful cast of mana leech in a session will yield the amount of 500 ranks the wizard has (less the one mana point for casting). ie. If a wizard konws up to spell rank 550, they will acquire 49 mana from their first leech. |

*On each successive cast of mana leech (again assuming that the end roll is high enough and the target has enough mana) the caster will receive 10% less mana than the leech previous. If the mage in the previous example got 49 mana on the first shot, they will get approximately 45 mana on the next cast. This will continually occur until the wizard "uses up" their mana leech, and is no longer receiving mana from successful wardings. |

A recovery period that starts from your first successful cast of Mana Leech (516). It keeps track of how much mana you've drained while the effect has been active. Then each minute, it reduces the amount by ((max mana / 30) + 1 at 100 EMC, then +1 per 20 skill past that). So at level 50, if a wizard had 150 mana and was 1x in EMC (150 skill), their recovery amount is reduced by 8 per minute. If they had drained 30 mana from a target, it would take 4 minutes before the recovery effect ends. |

Training in [[Elemental Lore, Water]] provides a chance for an additional 20 mana to be added to the amount drained from the target based on seed 2 [[summation]] of ranks. This benefit does not override the maximum leeching allowed before the cooldown, but will get the caster to that limit faster without the risk of failed casts. |

Mana Leech is a warding spell that creates a dull grey ray between the caster and its target to steal mana from the target and transfer it back to the caster. The target must have mana for the spell to function, and Mana Leech can never steal more mana than the target possesses. Successfully warding a target costs one (1) mana, while a failed warding check costs the expected sixteen (16) mana.
Four skills determine various aspects of the spell:
- Major Elemental spell ranks determine the maximum amount of mana that can be leeched.
- Harness Power determines the maximum mana a player can leech without any recovery.
- Elemental Mana Control determines the recovery rate and amount of mana drained each cast.
- Elemental Lore, Water provides a chance to add an additional 20 mana to the amount drained from the target each time it is cast.
- Capped at MjE ranks minus 1
- The amount of mana drained will be reduced if the caster has less than 100 Elemental Mana Control skill.
- +20 if the caster passes the Water Lore check
The maximum amount of mana a caster may steal on any given cast of Mana Leech is determined by the caster's number of Major Elemental spell ranks, minus one (1) mana for the cost of the casting (e.g. a caster with 50 ranks in Major Elemental spells will be able to steal a maximum of 49 mana from its target). This is not capped at level.
Across multiple casts, a caster can leech a total amount of mana equal to their maximum mana capacity. Over time the capacity to leech mana recovers (see Recovery Time table below). The message: You no longer feel the effect of casting mana leech. indicates that the caster has fully recovered from the effects of Mana Leech (they can once again leech up to their maximum mana capacity).
Mana Control Benefits
Training in Elemental Mana Control (EMC) provides multiple benefits:
Efficiency of Mana Drain
EMC determines the percentage of mana that is successfully transferred to the caster, with 100% efficiency achieved at 100 skill.
- With 0 skill in EMC, no mana will be successfully drained, even if the warding roll succeeds.
- With 50 skill in EMC, for example, 50% of the expected mana will be drained.
The number of ranks that can be applied towards this percentage is capped at the caster's level.
- i.e. a caster at level 20 may only have 20 ranks of EMC apply, which is 90 skill and thus 90% maximum mana drain efficiency.
Mana Drained from Target
EMC will increase the amount of mana drained from a target by skill bonus/10.
Elemental Mana Control ranks 2 4 6 8 10 13 15 18 20 24 27 30 35 40 50 60 70 80 Additional mana drained from target 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Elemental Mana Control ranks 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 Additional mana drained from target 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
Recovery Time
A recovery period that starts from your first successful cast of Mana Leech (516). It keeps track of how much mana you've drained while the effect has been active. Then each minute, it reduces the amount by ((max mana / 30) + 1 at 100 EMC, then +1 per 20 skill past that). So at level 50, if a wizard had 150 mana and was 1x in EMC (150 skill), their recovery amount is reduced by 8 per minute. If they had drained 30 mana from a target, it would take 4 minutes before the recovery effect ends.
Lore Benefit
Training in Elemental Lore, Water provides a chance for an additional 20 mana to be added to the amount drained from the target based on seed 2 summation of ranks. This benefit does not override the maximum leeching allowed before the cooldown, but will get the caster to that limit faster without the risk of failed casts.
Elemental Lore, Water ranks 2 5 9 14 20 27 35 44 54 65 77 90 104 119 135 152 170 189 209 230 252 Chance for +20 mana 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% 17% 18% 19% 20% 21%
