Meditate and the open book

[Sirquestalot]

Your last post indicated 2 considerations which are separate: "... sit and med with book..."
Even though using the Meditate button in the book isn't required, yeah, you still gotta sit. So, a) does your wife's shaman have the Meditate skill trained (level 8 for priests, if you trained early because the training window has an error in it, then you didn't really train), and b) is the slow mana regen because she's just standing and waiting on the mana bar to refill?
