The Cleric level 54 spell Unswerving Hammer of Faith currently has the incorrect mana requirement.

The current mana cost is 175, the correct mana cost for the present era is 600. Based on the patch messages below, the recast and cast times are likely needing attention as well.


The following website including an original screenshot of the spell information and is dated November 19, 2000, pre-Velious.

The following mirrored site from an old Geocities page that listed the classic + Kunark spells, notice no Velious era spells are included, lists Unswerving Hammer of Faith as costing 600 mana. http://www.oocities.org/eq_compendium/spell_lists/cleric_spells_printable.htm

A user named "killmorestuff" responding to a question about the stats of the spell from Jul 24 2002, 8:25am, the following link takes you to his profile page and if you hover your mouse over hyperlinked "RE: Cleric PETS ?" it will show you the details of his post. I have saved an image of it for easier reference also below.

A patch message from September 4, 2002, post-Velious && post-Luclin stated:


------------------------------

[...]
- Unswerving Hammer of Faith has casting time reduced from 6 to 2.5
seconds, recast increased from 2.5 to 60 seconds and mana cost lowered
from 600 to 250.
Which is still more than the 175 mana it is currently costed.


The change to 175 mana cost did not occur until 2003 in the following patch:
