[PnP] Question about mana use

[Alex Koponen]

1.3261) Mana Level equals (I+W+Em)/10 RU Often around 6 or so... Z'leyra 
has a mana level a great deal higher but OFTEN exceeds that amount in 
mana spent in one day even before she uses extra-somatic aid. Her EnL 
(C+W) is much higher than her mana level and it is her EnL that is the 
limiting factor in how much mana she can cast in one day.

So my answer to your question is: Yes, spell casters can cast more than 
their maximum calculated mana level. It is their EnL (and extra-somatic 
aids) that are the limiting factors...along with having the mana to cast 
with of course.


*"Energy Level *

The Energy Level (*EnL*) of a Character equals *C*+*W*. It has the 
following effects:

A) Without extra-somatic aid, i.e. a wand, magic ring, etc., the usable 
Casting Ability of a magic-user equals his Current EnL.

EXAMPLE* *— A *MEL*14 Wizard has Casting Ability of 139 and EnL of 72. 
He may not cast more than 72 Mana Points in one day without 
extra-somatic aid."

Beginning casting ability is normally calculated at the lesser of either 
EnL or MELxML.

Question...if the mage has a wand or such that has mana storage, can he 
cast more than his MAXIMUM calculated Mana Level?

It doesn't really say, but it doesn't really say no.

Danke!
