Talk:A Festering Powder
At level 47, this took away 1140 MP from me.--GoldS 01:47, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
Another data point: At level 79, this took away 2304 MP.--GoldS 04:16, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
At level 4, it took 13. Incidentally, I think the description is also a reference to Powder. Hairless, pale, and did stuff with electricity. --Sprad 12:47, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
- No it doesn't. It's just referenceing this carnival game featuring Uncle Fester from the adams family that has these electric rods you grab. My google fu fails for a pic, but I assure you, it looks exactly like the ingame pic.--Llamaman 14:45, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
The fester game image, for your enjoyment. I did miss the powder in the title originally, because I'm dumb. And I've not seen it, but I guess he has electric powers? I guess it might actually be a reference. --Llamaman 16:23, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
Huh, at level 94, I only lost 948 MP. My stats were 1894/1714/1034, and I was a level 16SC. --Starwed 16:22, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
At level 101, I lost 1059 MP. Level 27 disco bandit, 1494/1618/1380. --Greycat 20:44, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

At level 112, I lost 1255 MP. Still level 27 DB, 720/1243/1630 this time. --Greycat 20:53, 12 July 2007 (CDT)
Level 154: 1904 MP. Level 28 DB, 1341/2395/1954. --Greycat 19:49, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
Level 124: 1464 MP. Level 18 TT, 1155/1150/843. --Chillydragon 01:54, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Level 191: 2572 MP.--WillGruff 17:45, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
Level 23: 2,204 MP. Tried again after a stat boost wore off and got 2,113MP. Basement Level 168. Have Ur-Kel's Aria of Annoyance and is the only thing I think could POSSIBLY be resulting in such a high number.--The Tainted Wisdom 24:00, 14 December 2022 (PST)
Formula
So, except for GoldS's data points, this all fits a formula of MP drain = 1.66L^1.4, which is in keeping with other basement formulas. I wonder what was special about GoldS's character? --Starwed 03:48, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
5MP taken on each of 30 adventures, at floor 1. --Raijinili 18:16, 6 July 2011 (CEST)
MP Restoring Items
At level 44, this drained 335 MP from me. I was surprised to see that I had succeeded, as my max MP was 334. However, with MP restoring items equipped, I still had 6 MP after the adventure was done. It seems they calculate whether you fail or not after any MP restoring bonuses are calculated in. Any confirmation?

Lost 634 MP at level 69. This seems rather random if someone on a lower level can lose over a thousand. Mysticality 911 (239), level 19 DB. --Seko 19:14, 15 January 2008 (CST)
I failed the test at floor 1, even with regen. 0MP to start, 5MP taken, 13MP at the end (regen range was 10-15). --Raijinili 17:31, 6 July 2011 (CEST)
Damage Absorption/Reduction
Attempted level 88 with 650 Damage Absorption, no damage reduction and lost ~880 mp, then attempted level 88 with 645 damage absorption, 102 damage reduction and lost 881 mp. I assume this means that damage reduction and absorption have no effect on mp loss. Can anyone confirm this? Abbywill 00:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Since when has DR or DA ever had an effect on MP? Duh.--Alabit 00:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
