Have a mana coil equipped
Use Aether Avatar
Cast manabolt (or other legal spells)

lose 50 mp.

Unsure if intended (but a bit obscure) interaction or bug, so listing.

Same happens for all triggered spells (e.g. Black Robe). Not sure if it’s intentional or not, but it does seem thematically appropriate to the effect. I’m assuming it’s just a quirk of how the skill works rather than a bug.

It is a quirk, but it's a weird interaction. The item is casting it instead and there's no real off-switch aside from not having on-spell gear equipped. Figured it was more you're trying to manipulate other magics while suffused with aether being punished rather than having a zapper attached to your wand.

It's a hum .. weird interaction of mechanics.
But I'll fix it anyway
