discern POM
Through intense study and concentration, the Holy Mage learns to build upon what they have learned from Meraud's Gift.  The Persistence of Mana spell will allow him to rend apart the normal boundaries of his magical prowess, extending those horizons to new heights.  The process is painful and taxing upon his concentration, but the rewards are quite bountiful -- as long as the spell remains in effect, his ability to harness and regenerate mana will be bolstered.

This is a ritual spell, which means that it requires a high amount of mana to use.  These mana costs can be alleviated somewhat by invoking the proper ritual focus while preparing the spell.  It affects yourself.  It requires a minimum of one hundred fifty mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of seven hundred mana streams woven into it.  To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of an experienced practitioner.  By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a master in your abilities as a caster.  It requires the Augmentation skill to cast effectively.  Before you can learn this spell, you must know Sanctify Pattern, and be circle 20.  It will also cost two spell slots.

The spell requires at minimum 150 mana streams and you think you can reinforce it with 176 more, for a total of 326 streams.

Through intense study and concentration, the Holy Mage learns to build upon what they have learned from Meraud's Gift.  The Persistence of Mana spell will allow him to rend apart the normal boundaries of his magical prowess, extending those horizons to new heights.  The process is painful and taxing upon his concentration, but the rewards are quite bountiful -- as long as the spell remains in effect, his ability to harness and regenerate mana will be bolstered.

This is a ritual spell, which means that it requires a high amount of mana to use.  These mana costs can be alleviated somewhat by invoking the proper ritual focus while preparing the spell.  It affects yourself.  It requires a minimum of one hundred fifty mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of seven hundred mana streams woven into it.  To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of an experienced practitioner.  By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a master in your abilities as a caster.  It requires the Augmentation skill to cast effectively.  Before you can learn this spell, you must know Sanctify Pattern, and be circle 20.  It will also cost two spell slots.

The spell requires at minimum 150 mana streams and you think you can reinforce it with 176 more, for a total of 326 streams.
