Hi Enchanters!

The 2005 class reinvisioning mentions some interesting things -



i.e. prior to 2005 mana drain doesn't work as a tap - it simply gives you full mana amount for the spell regardless of how much mana the target had (as long as it had a mana stat?).

Can any enchanters confirm whether or not Theft or Thought gives the full amount every time? - it should do, but I am not sure it does!

It also appears it should be working on NPCs with innate spells, not just caster classes (in 2005 many NPCs had these, but I suppose 2001 and earlier some NPCs like dragons, etc also did).

Please post any info on how things are working regarding mana drain so this can be fixed if required [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On p99 it only gives as much mana as the npc had remaining, but it does work against npcs that only have mana for an innate -- although I have know idea if the set of innates that give an npc mana on p99 is that same as live was.
