Step 13

The Symbol of Mana, governed by Lord Koar, is obtained at the thirteenth step of the Order of Voln. Upon a successful invocation of this symbol the member will immediately gain 50 mana.

If, by using this symbol, mana is increased above the normal max capacity, it will begin to incrementally dissipate at 5 per pulse until the normal level is reached.

Initial use of this symbol will cost only favor and no deeds. After this use, the symbol will enter a soft cooldown period of 5 minutes, where additional activations will require 1 deed per use. Clerics may be interested to note that the symbol will become useable while dead, should any Miracles be required.

Messaging

Successful invocation:

>symbol of mana

You call upon a special blessing from Koar

You feel a surge of mana flow through you.

Cooldown ending:

You feel Koar's blessing return to you.

Failure:

>symbol of mana
The image of the symbol burns in your mind, but no mana flows.

Favor Cost

Favor cost is based on the member's level. See Table for specific examples. It has a relative cost of 3x Symbol of Protection. In other words, one use of Symbol of Mana costs the same favor as three activations of Symbol of Protection.

Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Mana

Formula: 1200 + (( level2 × 20 ) ÷ 3 )
Ex. level 10 member: 1200 + ((10 × 10 × 20) ÷ 3) = 1866 favor
Ex. level 20 member: 1200 + ((20 × 20 × 20) ÷ 3) = 3866 favor
