They've always been spells that rarely worked, which always irked me a bit. Not a bug though, but how they're designed by default.

So if enough people agree they don't like this, we can recode what they do.

Basic idea:
Make mana drain destroy a set % of mana of the target?
maybe resistable/negated through skills?

Mana vampire - destroy mana from drain and gain health equivalent to it(or maybe a ratio of it)?

Gimme your suggestions

My 2 cents:

mana drain:
----take a random amount of mana between say 10 and 40.
----Able to cast at the same skill as the rest of the circle it's in (I cant remember what circle)
----At GM resist someone would have a 50%chance to resist the spell.
--------At 0 resist someone would have a 0% chance to resist the spell. All other skill levels would be linear within 0 and 50%.

Mana vamp:
----takes same mana as mana drain
----Able to cast when other circle 7 spells can be cast
----returns mana to the person casting it at a 2:1 ratio....So if 30 mana was drained, then 15 mana would be given to the caster.
----resisting works the same as mana drain

i think for mana vamp if it fails it should take away a large amount of mana, because if not people will be casting that spell allllll day

it also needs to turn the caster criminal...but that probably goes without saying......
