What if I enter as Weird Al Yankovic?

Then I'll enter as Kanye.

Funny s**t.

Hmm...

Kinda bored, so I was trying to figure out Jello's mana system.

Why?

Because I'm interested in Falis' Paladins and its a very unique system.

Anyway...

I believe it's called the "Spiritual Stamina system" and here's what I think I know:

- He gains 5% mana per turn, minus whatever expenses for techniques and what not.
- The [4.00 0.00 4.00] thingy is a measure of his spiritual and bodily strain. The first number being bodily, the second being how much strain he's under now and the third being spiritual. And they don't regenerate naturally like his mana does.
- Most techniques he's used have had a cost of 0.25, but there was one major one he uses right at the end of his first bout which cost 1.00
- If he uses any techniques in succession, he strains not just his spiritual reserves but his physical ones in equal amounts
- Also, that mega technique seems to be a continuous effect but instead of costing mana every turn, it strains his body instead and gives him extra mana to play with

Mornin' Kyt.

Good morning.

Lol @ Ross.

You're hilarious.

-gives you a second morning to live through-

Not even close.

- He has 4.00 mana.
- [4.00 . 0.00 . 4.00 ] means that he starts the post with 4.00, uses 0.00, and ends the post with 4.00.
- The cost of a spell depends on his level compared to the spell's level. A same level spell costs 1 mana, other than that you multiply or divide by 2 for each step. Since he's level 3, a level 1 spell costs (1 /2 /2 = 0.25) mana.

Explaining it any further than that would just be really complicated and mostly thematic.

Basically it's a really complicated way for me to say "the higher level a character is, the more effortless small powers become" and to be able to tack on a 'my character leveled up' without having to adjust any of the spells on my list or decide what his new MP pool is going to be.

Now if you want a block of text describing the thematic reasons for the 'spiritual stamina system' and a bunch of things that don't involve numbers at all, I can provide two or three of those.
