* Allows the user to perceive '''life mana''' via {{com|INVOKE}}. <br>
* Mana tuners do not allow native use of this mana type (non-sorcerous) nor do they provide any skill or spell casting benefits.
* More powers on a single tuner may be unlocked with a [[Item:Potency crystal|potency crystal]] to see up to two additional types of mana.
* Only one [[mana tuner]] and one [[sorcery focus]] may be worn at the same time.
* The tuners do not drop to the ground on death or incarceration.
* The tuners cannot be destroyed through normal use, merely dropped if you get the worst possible failure while implanting.
* There is a cool down between switching out tuners of about 3 real life days.


Allows the user to perceive '''life mana''' via {{com|INVOKE}}. See [[:Category:Mana tuners|mana tuners]] for additional details, including implanting and unlocks.
==Unlocks==
Including the initial item power, there are five potential upgrades and you may unlock up to three of them. <br>
:Lunar attunement (LOCKED)
:Elemental attunement (LOCKED)
:Life attunement (UNLOCKED!)
:Holy attunement (LOCKED)
:Sorcerous attunement (LOCKED)
You may cycle through unlocks using "turn tuner." A valid (locked) attunement must be selected before the unlock will be complete. <br>


{{cat|Mana tuners}}
====Unlock Notes====
*One type (depending on what you buy) will be unlocked by default. You {{tt|TURN}} the tuner to a LOCKED setting, apply the potency crystal and it'll unlock that element. <br>
*You may have no more than '''three total powers''' unlocked on a single tuner. This includes the default power.
*If you plan on unlocking multiple elements, you should do so ahead of IMPLANTing it; you will need to hold the tuner in your hands to apply the crystal.

==Implanting==
* Anyone can implant a Mana Tuner, even non-magic users, though there is a modest [[Arcana skill]] requirement for doing so.
* Magical spinal surgery is '''dangerous'''. Tuners need to be {{tt|SHAPE}}d to the person that will implant them ({{tt|SHAPE TUNER TO ARMIFER}}, for example). This can be done by yourself or with the help of another. This is an extremely hard [[First Aid skill]] check, and made even harder if you're doing it yourself. [[Empath]]s using a [[Empath healing|diagnostic link]] and [[Necromancer]]s using the [[Butcher's Eye]] spell can mitigate this difficulty somewhat, but still you want to find an expert in the field.
* You can {{tt|STUDY}} the tuner after it has been shaped to get an accurate idea of how the surgery will go. This is very wise, since "death" and "failure to implant" are possible outcomes.
* There are four possible surgery outcomes:
*# Death + failure to implant (and the implant hits the ground).
*# Death + successful implant
*# Severe bleeders + successful implant
*# Moderate bleeders + successful implant
* The [[First Aid skill]] of the person getting the implant doesn't matter, it's entirely on the person who {{tt|SHAPE}}s it. The only requirement on the implanter's side is they need a modest amount of [[Arcana skill]] to do it at all.
* The tuner is not destroyed if you successfully or fail to implant, but may drop on the ground on failures.
* You must implant your own mana tuner. Another player may only {{tt|SHAPE}} it for you.
