I believe that it's a hard MD req to get Rezz in the orb but raising Disc wouldn't hurt I'm sure

I did some testing on Raise a while back, at 96th circle it took me 100 mana to find a 104th circle empath with 6 favors. More than 6 favors did nothing for the amount of mana required, however for each favor below 6 the amount of mana required was raised by 50.

Smegul and I were talking about this on WOE though and he thinks that the amount of mana required is dependent on how much you infuse at a time, I haven't tried to test this yet but the tests that I did were all infusing 5 mana

>>I think Smeggers is right about that: I usually infuse 20 mana, and seldom need more than 3 such infusions to find the spirit.

If I find someone willing to die, or not atk with crappy log triggers I might test this out

>>If I find someone willing to die, or not atk with crappy log triggers I might test this out

When and where? No triggers on me, and I have a couple of TF chars with a decent number of favors.

>>Well then I have quite a ways to go. I backfire out when I harness/infuse more than 8-10 mana. At 7, I can usually get it working and keep it going for a while but like I said I haven't found anybody. Only sensed nearby spirits.

Infusion is a really tough ability. At 650 PM and HA I can only infuse 40 mana safely

>>Infusion is a really tough ability. At 650 PM and HA I can only infuse 40 mana safely

That it is. While I had only a bit under 400 in my magics when I got the ability, my results were comparable and proportionate.

It isn't. You should be able to since you have the ability- but it will be harder for you than it is for some of us Old Fogies. ;)

I do have a suggestion: If you have the spells, throw up POM and as large a self-cast vigil as you can. At the very least, that will give you more mana to work with.

::LOL:: Agreed about POM. Most times when I cast it, I make sure to be sitting down and nowhere near a hunting ground. Though if you recast before the first cast wears off, there is no stun.

I have a theory about Vigil helping some with finding lost spirits.

As of:

It has been 391 years, 147 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.
It is the 4th month of Shorka the Cobra in the year of the Crystal Snow Hare.
It is currently spring and from here you can only see that it's daytime.

I raised my FIRST deader! Woohoo!

Seems casting Vigil helped. I didn't cast POM.

Now that I've done it once, I can safely say it's deceptively easy to do. It's all about skills or lack of, and how much easier it should be once I can raise with the help of OM.

Found a deader!

I stand by my 50 being the minimum to see someone.

Interestingly it appears the amount you're holding when you cast the spell makes a difference. Harn 60, cast, infuse 50 -- see em every time. If I cast holding just 10, and then harnessed and infused as time went on, it took 55.

I saw no evidence that the amount you infuse per infusion makes a difference. However, it's also possible that I am so far above this particular deader that I was at the minimum cap regardless.

Well, that supports the Charisma theory. Kinda.

I bet rezz needs only 100 MD ranks for it to go in the OM orb. It's not that hard of a spell. But it sure is the most useful thing, especially if you get distracted while raising, need to wait for the body to be healed, or Rej/SB wear off during infusion.

Also, in regards to PoM you do know if you recast it before the spell drops you don't get the stun, right? I am always checking to see how much time I have before the spell wears off, so I can recast it. Usually I only have to sit through the stun once or twice a night.

It takes 100 ranks of MD to weave Rezz into an orb? Geez.. guess I better work harder on MD...

>>With over 600 PM, I find that most raises for the mid level circle range are exactly 60 mana infused, 20 at a time.

>>I've found this to be the case in the significant majority. 60 mana, consistently.

With 650 PM infusing 35 mana at a time I find this not to be the case. Like I said before though, most of the people I raise are 150th

I have 422 PM and I see lower circle people with two 25 mana infusions.
