Is there any way we could get some info on how the lore scaling works for some of the MnM spells? Trying to figure out post-cap training and considering picking up some random telepathy lore because..eh, why not (the transformation benefits fall off pretty steeply so it's really a marginal loss) confusion and provoke especially are pretty impossible to figure out so if these are scaling off seeds or have specific breakpoints that would be pretty awesome to know. Or they're in the pile of "randomly obscure for no reason" benefits like e-wave (which, i assume also includes 1207 i assume.)

MnM spells we have no idea on how much lores affect -

1207 - assume this is like 410 w/ water lore so...linearish more is like better? (manip)
1210 - how much crit damage increase is (manip)
1211 - how much more likely they are to attack other creatures (telep)
1219 - reduction of endroll needed for higher tier effects (transference)
1235 - gen increase (telep)

aside from vertigo, these are all exceedingly difficult if not impossible to test for breakpoints (if any exist)

ALSTHAR

1207 - assume this is like 410 w/ water lore so...linearish more is like better? (manip)

It's based upon skill (not ranks) and is substantial (twice the bonus that Elemental Lore: Water provides to Elemental Wave (410)). 100 skill alone is more of a penalty than the bonus that most individual spells provide to maneuver defense (at 100 spell ranks).

ALSTHAR

1210 - how much crit damage increase is (manip)

Mental Lore: Manipulation's application for Thought Lash (1210) is skill based. 100 skill is a little less than half a crit rank.

ALSTHAR

1211 - how much more likely they are to attack other creatures (telep)

The base effect will cause a creature to not attack at all 33% of the time, to attack an ally 33% of the time, and to attack normally (players, etc) 34% of the time. Every 20 skill of Mental Lore, Telepathy increases the first two categories by 1% and decreases the last category by 2%.

ALSTHAR

1219 - reduction of endroll needed for higher tier effects (transference)

The spell uses a seed 6 summation with a 2x multiplier (applied during the summation, not after and as such, provides more incremental bonuses). e.g. if you have 50 ranks of Mental Lore, Transference, the bonus is 11. If you have 100 ranks, the bonus is 19. The bonus is applied directly to the warding result (only if the target failed to ward, like channeling). If the warding margin is over 120, Vertigo will cause 6 rounds of dizziness. Over 70, it's 5. Over 20, it's 4, and otherwise it's 3 rounds. More rounds not only means the effect lasts longer, but it's also more potent, with a 6 round effect immediately causing 20 seconds of RT when it first triggers (then scales down after that). There's 25 seconds between each round.

ALSTHAR

1235 - gen increase (telep)

In normal hunting grounds, the base spell effect increases the spawn rate of creatures by +2. It's further increased by +1 per every 15 ranks of Mental Lore, Telepathy.
