Manna creates a loaf of 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). Spirit is restored at a rate of 1 every 4 minutes and cannot be improved through any additional training. There is no health regeneration effect from Manna.

The mana regeneration rate is based on the bread maker's Major Spiritual spell ranks. The formula is:

Mana per minute = 1 + 1 per seed 4 summation of spell ranks
Major Spirit spell ranks 3 4 9 15 22 30 39 49 60 72 85
Mana regeneration benefit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Major Spirit spell ranks 99 114 130 147 165 184 204 225 247 270 294
Mana regeneration benefit 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

Non-native casters will not be able to generate more than 1 mana per minute. The mana regeneration benefit from Manna stacks with that of Heroism (215). Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings will add to the maximum mana benefit (see below).

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.

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) can be used to restore the bread to an edible state.

The standard form of Manna is some manna bread, but different bread descriptions can be SUMMONed based on the caster's race.

Usage

  • PREP 203 | CAST or INCANT 203 to cast this spell
  • PREP 203 | SUMMON {item} to complete the sentence (|t=)
  • For a list of available options and expected input, type SUMMON while the spell is prepared.
  • When shortening the name of the food you are summoning, the spell expects you to give it the food's full name, not the noun. (e.g. to summon a wild rice cake, SUMMON wild will work, while SUMMON cake will not.)

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.

Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks 10 21 33 46 60 75 91 108 126 145
Maximum mana benefit 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

Use with Consecrate (1604)

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.
