> Actually before I jump the gun and do a whole Arcana experience test, has a study like this already been done that someone can refer me to? I was ashamed to realize that I had never done such a test, so I did a quick one. TL;DR:  - Charging teaches most, discharging teaches somewhat, and focusing teaches a pittance.  - Teaching from charge and discharge are both based on the amount of mana.  - Learning is the same for enchantes and spells.  - So to maximize learning, try to keep as much mana as possible flowing through your cambrinth, while avoiding wasting time on focusing. Keep in mind that there are a lot of roundoff errors: Action Rank Gain charge 5 .02% charge 10 .05% charge 10 x2 .12% charge 20 .14% charge 30 .17% charge 20, camb had only 10 space .14% focus (camb had 20 mana) .01% focus (camb had 50 mana) .01% focus (camb had 60 mana) .01% discharge 5 with Ease .01% discharge 10 with Ease x3 .05% discharge 60 with Ease .08% discharge 10 with max Harmony x8 .12% discharge 10 with min Harmony x6 .08% discharge 15 with max Harmony x4 .08% Arcana: 744 Additional conclusions (keep in mind that the test resolution is only so good): - Focus teaches a constant amount. - Charging and discharging teach an amount that is linear with mana. - Wasting discharged mana because your enchante is capped does not hurt discharge learning. - Wasting charged mana because your camb is full does not hurt charging learning.
