Confused by mana per wisdom

the formula in that last link isn't 100% accurate either. I have 3270 mana ingame, tho I only get 3256 using your little calculator.

Makes me think it's off by 1 (effective) wis. Maybe it's the evens starting from 202 that don't count rather than odds from 201? Changed the calculator to that but who knows.

Close enough that it's almost certainly the right formula in general, though. The amount from 1 extra point of wis varies more than I thought. Assuming the formula is right, at level 60:

From 1 to 100: oscillates between 3 and 6 mana for each point of wis. Average: 4.5

From 101 to 200: proceeds in a pattern of 9, 13, 9, 14, repeat. Average for this portion: 11.25

From 201 to 255, same as 101 to 200, just staggered out to 9, 0, 13, 0, 9, 0, 14, 0, repeat. Average: ~5.73 (?)

Overall average from 1 to 255 would be around 7.41, but it would be silly to look at it that way when it's clearly stratified.
