Mystical Affinity (racial)

Helpfile

Usage:  pool <accumulate|status>
        pool tap [amount]

For ages, the elves of Astaria have had a natural affinity with the magical energies that course throughout the realm, and have been renowned for an ability to manipulate refined magic very effectively and with tremendous results. Throughout the years, an acquired effect of this affinity slowly became evident. Elves are now known to each possess an extradimensional pool through which all of the elf's magical essence flows.

Elves have not always possessed such buffers, and while the development of this ability has largely been attributed to evolution and adaptation, some scholars theorize that one particularly chaotic release of magic into the mortal realm speeded the process of elf evolution. Some believe this to have been a deliberate act of the gods, though most consider it a random magical flux.

Details on use:

To begin accumulating SP into the pool, use: pool accumulate. To check on the amount of SP accumulated so far, use: pool status. When you have accumulated your desired amount of spell points into the extradimensional buffer, you can toggle the accumulation by using "pool accumulate" again. Keep in mind, though, that when your pool fills, even if you are toggled to accumulate regeneration, normal regeneration will skim over the surface of your pool and into you.

When your mind wearies, you can draw forth spell points by using "pool tap", along with a specified amount. If no amount is specified, your pool will tap itself until it either runs dry or completely regenerates your SP.

Commentary

---

At level 36, the pool has a maximum capacity of 92 spell points. When an elf taps their pool, spell points are replenished instantly. The mage mindwipe skill will not remove spell points stored in the elf's pool.
