	'''Wait -- If mana can't be held, then what's going on in group harnessing?'''

	When others in the caster's group harness mana, it does help the caster but does not actually contribute that mana to the spell. The group's mana helps by reducing the natural resistance mana has to being harnessed -- a single mage harnessing mana will have a more difficult time than if their comrades are 'softening' the surrounding streams with their own efforts.

	Upon casting, that helpful group energy dissipates, making the caster's own use of mana as efficient as if they'd harnessed more than they really did. However, since mana types are not truly compatible, this is also why like-mana is more efficient than mismatched mana in group harnessing efforts.

	It is assumed that <tt>HARNESS SHARE OFF/ON</tt> simulates 'proximity' to the casting mage -- someone standing away from him would not be contributing to the effort of reducing natural mana resistance nor helping efficiency.

	Your '''Attunement''' skill represents, among other things, your ability at manipulating this raw mana, which can often involve some tricky maneuvering by the harnessing mage. Harnessing is just that; the mage taps into these flowing lines of mana and attempts to use their power for ~~his~~ own means. Obviously, you can not actually remove the mana from the streams, or surely [[Elanthia]] would be barren of mana by now -- all you can really do is try to keep a regular flow of it channeling through your system for as long as your skill allows.

	Whenever you take an action that requires harnessing mana, such as the {{com\|Harness}}, {{com\|Cast}} or {{com\|Charge}} commands, you spend some of your current [[attunement]]. The amount spent is dependent on your Attunement skill and the available [[mana]]; higher levels of Attunement will cost you less attunement to cast the same spell.
