    Occult Acumen Questions

    So, the new Raetic Staff has me wondering if the MP Cost +30% is accounted for with OA. I know that OA checks before cost reductions, but don't know about increases, and I can't test because there are none on AH... Does anyone have one and willing to check or have tested already?

    Also wondering how OA interacts w/ Manafont, but I can test that myself.

    LightArts Thunder5, 368 MP: 153 TP
    DarkArts Thunder5, 276 MP: 153 TP
    Manafont Thunder5, 0 MP: 153 TP

    It's not a raetic staff, but cost increase from light arts did not change tp return

    Since the OA page specifically calls out "This is calculated before MP Cost reductions like Dark Arts, Parsimony, or Conserve MP.", I figured that Light Arts increased mana cost would not apply either. Raetic Staff may work differently though.

    Good to know about Manafont too. Thanks. ^^
