Manna (203) creates a lump of bread (some manna bread) that, when eaten, increases a character's mana and spirit regeneration rates, provided that they do not enter combat (attacking, casting a spell of war, or being attacked).

The bread created by this spell will restore a number mana points every minute based on the bread maker's Major Spiritual spell ranks. The formula is 1 + 1 per seed 4 spell ranks. For example, it will provide +5 mana every minute once the caster knows up to spell 222, +8 mana at 249, +12 mana at 299, etc. Non-native casters will not be able to generate more than 1 mana per minute. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings also adds to the maximum mana benefit.

This spell will also restore 1 spirit point every 4 minutes. The mana regeneration benefit from manna bread stacks with that of Heroism (215). There is no health regeneration effect from manna bread.

There are 5 bites per loaf, and each bite adds 5 minutes to the rejuvenation effect. GOBBLING the bread will retain the duration as if each bite was taken individually.

Manna bread will remain fresh for a duration of 1 hour. When fresh, it will have a wonderful aroma. When it has no odor, it will not benefit nor harm the eater. When it has a sour odor, it may poison the eater. SNIFFing or SMELLing the bread will display its status. Consecrate (1604) will restore the manna bread, dependent on the caster's skill. The mana regeneration rate will be set to 3 + seed 2 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings. The maximum mana lore bonus will be set to 10 + (5 * seed 5 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings). If the existing effectiveness is less than the Paladin or scroll user's skill set, then the stats are not affected, but the food is no longer spoiled.

Lore Benefit

Spiritual Lore, Blessings will add to the consumer's maximum mana at a rate of +5 per seed 10 summation. For example, at 46 lore ranks, it grants +20 maximum mana; at 145 lore ranks, +50 maximum mana. Benefits from other items, such as enhancives, will not push the maximum mana over the +50 cap. Spirit regeneration is not affected by Blessings Lore.
