Mana flares are a special type of flare only found on runestaves that return mana to the caster. The mana returned ranges from +1 to +5, depending on the level of the staff (e.g., +5 mana flaring staves will always return 5 mana to the caster on a flare activation). Mana flaring staves may be found at festivals and pay events in merchant shops usually in +2 form. They can be also found in the treasure system usually at +1 and rarely +2.
- Mana flares are unique in being able to trigger when casting defensive, or even utility, spells.
- Unlike all other flares, these can also be triggered by mass-effect spells such as Depression or Disruption, but only with the 'cast' verb (i.e. initial start of the Song); the 'renew' verb will not trigger a runestaff flare at this time.
Like acuity flares, mana flares as a merchant service can be categorized as common, uncommon, and special.
| Common | Uncommon | Special |
|---|---|---|
| +1-2 | +3-4 | +5 |
Special flares are unlikely to be seen outside of pay events such as RTCF. Duskruin Arena events have sold both starter (direct to +3) vouchers, as well as increase (add +1 to existing) certificates.
