MP Modifiers

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

Below is a comprehensive list of everything in the game that directly affects your maximum MP. The MP page shows how your MP ceiling is calculated.

Increasing your Mysticality also has an effect on your maximum MP, at a base ratio of one MP per Mysticality point. This ratio is improved to 1.5 mana per Mysticality point if you are a Pastamancer or a Sauceror.

For these reasons, you may also be interested in the list of Mysticality Modifiers. They are not listed alongside these items due to the variable nature of the Mysticality-to-MP ratio.

Absolute Increasers

Absolute MP increasers add to your MP ceiling by a fixed amount.

Percentage Increasers

Percentage MP increasers raise your MP ceiling as a fraction of your base MP ceiling.

Source	Source Type	Incr	Duration	Cost	Prereq

Also, they are applied to the base MaxMP before any of the flat +MP additions above.
