:spellbook: Mana Drain and Mana Vampire Changes
- Mana Drain has a 3 second Cool-Down, and does percentage-based mana drains of 20% of target's current mana pool with maximum drains capped at 20, for both players and mobs.
- This spell does not return mana back to the caster, and as a Circle 3 spell, can be resisted a great deal at GM resist.

- Mana Vampire has a 5 second Cool-Down, and does percentage-based mana vampires of 50% of target's current mana pool with maximum drains capped at 50, for both players and mobs.
- This spell does return mana back to the caster, and as a Circle 7 spell, can fizzle, but can also get through GM resist checks a fair amount.
- Vamp can now be used strategically in PVE and PVP to return mana above the 40 spell cost, with maximum of 50 potential, but is a gamble due to potential resist.
