Skill MP Cost Modifiers

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

In most cases, items or effects that reduce the MP cost of skills will not do so by more than three points, in total, and no skill may cost less than 1 MP. The first exception would be the Festival of Jarlsberg holiday, which has an intrinsic three-point discount which stacks with any other reduction, to a maximum of a six-point discount. Arcane in the Brain also ignores the stacking restriction, giving a nine-point discount. Finally, the outfit effect of the Vile Vagrant Vestments yields a five-point discount which stacks with other reductions, leading to a theoretical ceiling of a fourteen-point discount. As a sidenote, these discounts also apply to skills that use HP instead of MP, such as those learned from the Booke of Vampyric Knowledge.
