ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

(I found a related topic from a year ago, but didn't want to perform fell necromancy on it: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=4 ... hilit=mana)

I've been using the Shadow Combat sustain on my level 3 Shadowblade, which is properly spending 2 mana per attack. However, I noticed that I was frequently at 100% mana despite forgetting to activate my manasurge rune. After a bit of experimentation, I realized that I was regenerating mana when using the Autoexplore function, specifically because it calls the Rest function if you use it while not at full health/mana. Resting causes mana to regenerate on a character with no native mana regeneration. Holding the "5" key to wait a turn does not regenerate mana, so I assume some code in the Rest function is to blame. It does not appear to be activating my manasurge rune automatically, because the rune is never on cooldown no matter how quickly I cancel resting, and the game log makes no mention of it.

mouse over your manasurge rune. You'll see that it has a regen rate for resting.

Sonofa... You know, even as I was thinking about it, I figured maybe resting should restore mana anyway. If I really want full mana before I move again, I'm just going to activate manasurge, then rest until it's off cooldown. No need to force the player to take extra steps. I guess putting passive mana regen on the manasurge rune fulfills that function.
