Sorcerer's Might not giving as much MP as it should

- You reach out with your heightened magical sensitivity and open yourself to the magical power reserves of Glacier Shard, tapping into them and allowing them to flow through you. (2026-01-01 02:05:31).
- You call upon your mastery of magical energy to restore your body. (2026-01-01 02:05:44).
- Kharla'ggen Vel'Vloz'ress drew 6 Magic Points from Glacier Shard. (2026-01-01 02:05:44).
- (3 times) You focus your magical powers into creating a magical Bar against Squib accessing the power contained in the Font. You have spent 10 MP. (2026-01-01 02:05:55).
- (5 times) You focus your thoughts, transforming flesh and blood into raw magical power. (2026-01-01 02:06:55 | 2026-01-01 02:05:58)

The first two out of "(5 times)" here it gave me 4 MP per AP spent, for a total of 12 MP. Then the rest gave 3 MP each. HP cost is not reduced.

This was just one example; this has been going on for months. And while it doesn't always happen, it has always happened a LOT more than most of the other glitches that don't always happen. It's not what I'd call rare, by any stretch.

The only theory I could posit about this is that it may be code leaking over from the diminishing returns Shepherds see when MPraying - assuming that isn't a bug too, that is! I haven't seen anything on the wiki or changelogs about that, and it's not like Dark Heart or Soul Ice users have to put up with such a problem.

There's dimishing return system on play, if you go over X-ammount your max, you start getting less and less mp.

I've not seen the prayer MP give less than expected.

But, last breath I ran into Overclock (the seraph skill) wouldn't always give MP when I was connected to a font. I assume there's some bug with the code for drawing MP from a font that happens when a character gains MP while connected to a font. I wonder if that's what effected you.

As Mosquito noted: all means of gaining MP have diminishing returns if you're high enough above your MP cap when you use them, which includes Dark Heart, Soul Ice, and everything else. Did this character have a lot of MP already?

4 MP, then + 4 + 4 = 12 after the first two Sorcerer's Mights. 12 MP. And then it took 3 more SMs (12 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21) to have enough to be able to lay the last two bars. (A total of 5 bars.)

My best guess is that this 'diminishing returns' stuff is treating you as if you had all of the font's MP inside of yourself. Even that isn't always enough to explain it, though... ...But it may help.
