Mana Drain spells

[Vroek]

I think the description of these spells vague.

If someone knows roughly how much mana you can expect to drain.

Mana burn/Sadistic Servants - how effective are these spells from lvl 1-5?

It drains/burn 5 mana per skill level.

lvl | mana drained/burnt per tick
1     5
2     10
3     15
4     20
5     25

The mana burnt is also the amount of damage you will do on your ennemy. Mana burn is nice against warriors and archer, while saddistic servants is especially useful on mages.

I have not used Sadistic Servants for a long time, but I remeber that it drains Mana per second. I think it drains from 10 to 30, acording to the level of the spell.

Sadistic Servant is the only spell (of those which drain/burn mana) that can not be cast to mobs (creatures). It works only on Enemy Players.

At lvl 5, mana burn > magma blast, and the mana cost is far from being the same.... need a fix for magma blast

Yes Magma Blast needs the mana cost reduced, but you can't compare them, Magma Blast is range 30 and has a decent initial direct damage. It's true that Mana Burn is good but first and foremost to remove mana .

I use it to finnish of mobs, mostly since the cool effect stay on their corpse

Thank you for testing, making me feel like lazy bum.
So mana burn remove same amount of mana as it cause damage?
Sometimes i noticed the damage get bugged say i do 25, 25, 25, then 3, 3,3... on the same mob.
I dont know if this happens to player too.

It is not a bug...the enemy has no more mana .
