My thoughts on a pure mage

Mana Points

At character creation:
1 point of intelligence = 1 mana point
1 point of perception = 2 mana points

During level up:
- You always get 1 mana point
- You get 1 mana point for every 10 point of intelligence you currently have
- You get 2 mana points for every 10 points of perception you currently have
So when you level up, you get 1 + int/10 + 2*perception/10 mana points

Mana Regeneration

Mana Regeneration is governed by Meditation and Perception.

- For every point in Perception or Meditation, the number of rounds ("steps") needed to regenerate 1 point of mana is reduced by 1.
- Mana regeneration is capped at 38 Perception OR 38 Meditation (or when the sum of both = 38), which equals 3 rounds for normal mages and 1 round for druidic mages
- I didn't test regeneration in dungeons, but I think normal mages are capped at 3 rounds and druidic mages at 4 rounds

Well done, Arhu!

This is very useful info. I wonder if it can be added to the FAQ or stickied somehow?

Pretty easy. I'm lvl 9 and I blasted those 2 eyes in the underground Repository with fire bolt. Dang, no way out. I want to go back for that goblin.
Been just exploring . avoiding towns for now.
Just hit blackwell now at lvl 9.with like only two quests down but a ton of quest items in my pack. Lol, with a strength of 9 I have to go back into town to unload.

So how do I get authorization to explore repository?

and Is there a magic item that boost mercatile skill? I'm sick and tire of being ripped off.

The only way out is if you remember to set a portal before getting dumped in there.

You can kill the dimensional eyes from outside that prison room using supernova spell and they can't hit you.

So how do I get authorization to explore repository?

You need to get one of the two keys.
Or just attack and kill the guards and goblin to use the lever without permission.

Is there a magic item that boost mercatile skill?

There is an amulet for +4 and there is a book.
