Bug: Mana Sieve should not affect bards
Currently on Red 99, an enchanter can cast Mana Sieve on a bard, and it takes the bard's mana.
This is incorrect to classic EQ: A bard's mana is unaffected by any spell effects which regen or deplete mana. On Rallos Zek, bard's were considered "mana batteries" because an enchanter could cast mana sieve on them, get the mana he normally would, but the bard would not lose any mana. I haven't spent an immense amount of time digging up proof, but here are a few bits to back-up my claim: Quote:

New info:
NPC mana-sieves are also incorrectly affecting bards: Quag Maelstrom in OOT is able to drain a bard's mana... this is incorrect to classic. Here is a quote from a classic EQ spoiler involving this NPC: Quote:

Here's some news:
On RZ you could drain a pure melee with it for the longest time too, provided they were in level range. If not? Had to duel. Can't confirm if a bard did or didn't lose mana on that though from memory. | ||

Bump for fix

Bards were losing mana from theft of thought for the first 3-4 months into Kunark before it got fixed. Also like Nirgon wrote, you could use Theft of thought on pure melee probably until the end of Kunark, early Velious.

Should also be valid on blue that you can duel a pure melee and mana drain him methinks.
Maybe that would get this moved along faster? 8] | ||

Mana sieve drains mana.
Theft of thought transfers to the caster. You can currently ToT a bard for mana but can't do it on pure melee

Effects that drain mana (ToT, quag maelstrom, every other one in game) or effects that restore mana (clarity, manasong, twitch) have never worked on bards.
Bards have their innate regen and later get some more manaregen through AA. It has been this way since classic until I quit in 2011. I am 100% positive it has not changed meanwhile. http://www.afterlifeguild.org/Thott/Fading_Memories.php Quote:
