#14447, "mana cost in overarea"


          








***I was flying above blackclaw the other day, a bit low on mana but not ***
***critically so (or so I thought) and suddenly I revert and plummet to my ***
***death. Looking back over the log, I noticed that the mana drain per ***
***tick was 126, when I had only 121. I don't remember the mana drain being ***
***that great, even for minor focus forms. Since that time, I've been ***
***watching my mana drains per tick, and they're still not that much. ***
***Anyway, I prayed about it and Zulg asked me to post it. So here are the logs.***

Mana factor affects the upkeep cost for forms, and it is possible that it costs as much as you noticed.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Because I also have noticed mana costs wildly fluctuating. I've done control tests (ie no enlivens up, etc) so it must be the Veil. Damn you IMMS adding another RNG!!!!!!!!!
