False Manacost calculations



AuthorFalse Manacost calculations
Manacostreductions: "Concealed knowledge" (20%), "Fickle mana" (20%) and "Intellectual vigour" (25%) of lorekeepers.

2 possibilities:
-Addition of effects: 0.2+0.2+0.25=0.65, meaning 35% of original costs
-Multiplication of effects: 0.8*0.8*0.75=0.48, meaning 48% of original costs


For the first case it would mean to have a fireball cost 3.5 mana of the original 10 (can be either 3 or 4). In fact the fireball cost 5 mana, so this has to be the wrong calculation.

In the second case the fireball costs 4.8 mana which is rounded up to 5. Lightings for example (aswell as all other 5 mana spells and magic arrow for original 4 mana too) cost 2 mana. Calculation for them is 2.4 mana costs (Fireball with only 20% and 20% reduction, thats 36% reduction, costs 6 of the 6.4 aswell), that means its rounded down, whereas 4.8 was rounded up. It seems to be rounded normal.

Problem is: Icering original costs 9 mana. 9*0.48=4.32 so according to consistent rules it has to cost 4 mana (.4 is rounded down so .32 has to be rounded down aswell). But as you might guess, it in fact costs 5 mana. Here is a slight mistake and i would be pleased if admins could fix the problem. In either direction (all always round up, round normally or round down always), but ALWAYS the same would be nice.


A fight showing what i mean (52% reduction at first, 36% reduction after the death of lorekeepers):

Noone is concerned about this problem?
Then it seems to stay a "feature" as so many things in this game. Closed.
