-40%mana usage upgrade sequence

why would you do this as even though it takes less mana it also reduces how much you do which -15% is alot of damage when the skill is thunder as i cannot see why do do any reduction to mana usage thing for bolts since it is only 5mp per bolt when on rank 1 of any bolt skill

Example: Using Thunder to kill the Hobgoblins while rafting. Assuming you're a high rank Thunder, the damage reduction won't hurt, but the mana use reduction would be helpful. Otherwise, play style. With the spell books and meditation's regen rate, you could probably cast nearly unlimited Thunders without drinking MP potions (assuming you didn't endlessly spam it) at night time with -40% reduction. --Simpet 19:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
