I think the confusion lies in the naming of the spells and the separation of old spell effects. Enchanters had some sort of mana regeneration, but I can't quite put my finger on what that was. I recall an ongoing debate on whether or not a low 30's Enchanter spell stacked with clarity and I think the reason for this debate was because Verant Interactive had not clarified the spell effect separations. This kind of thing happened pretty frequently but there are very few notes on them because V.I. was often very cryptic when it came to explaining game mechanics.
Umbral Messenger, Enchantment of Brilliance, Detect Magic, and Enchantment of Light are just a few examples of spells that were relabeled, removed or reconstituted at a later date. I'd tell you to guess what these spells do, but it may be easier to win the lottery twice in one day after rolling twin 00's for Psionics. The two enchantments spells listed here were originally tied to the mana conversion line and we now know them as Thicken and Clarify Mana. The term Brillance was reconstituted to an INT buff and I believe Detect Magic spell was simply removed completely (I have no idea what that was).
My point is this. I see where you have something showing Clarity was added, but was it really added or was another spell separated and renamed to reflect it's purpose? Maybe the developers caved to a barrage of angry voices crying for faster regeneration rates or maybe the previous mana regeneration spell was under-powered and poorly labeled. From my memory, I am leaning towards the latter since that debate on whether or not the two spells stacked is still clearly stuck in my head. GL.
