Using the PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, or POWER command, your character will attempt to perceive the mana available in the local area, or other magical qualities as specified. The result is based on the character's Attunement skill.
Use
The default roundtime for perceiving mana varies between 8 and 12 seconds. Every 60 ranks of Attunement the minimum and maximum roundtimes drop by 1 second up to 300 ranks (3-7 seconds). Every 60 ranks after 300 the maximum roundtime drops by 1 second until 540 ranks when every perceive will take 3 seconds.
At around 100 ranks you can get a sense of whether the mana in a room over is hotter or colder than your current room. At around 300 ranks you will see the absolute mana value of the adjacent rooms (so instead of "it's better" you'd get "it's lambent").
For training, the timer on exp award for POW or PERC in a single area is 60 seconds.
Mana appears differently to different guilds:
- Clerics see golden Holy mana radiating through the area.
- Paladins see golden Holy mana radiating through the area.
- Empaths see vibrant blue and white Life mana flowing through the area.
- Rangers see deep green and blue Life mana flowing through the area.
- Bards hear harmonious Elemental mana coursing through the area.
- Warrior Mages see roiling Elemental mana coursing through the area.
- Moon Mages see cold, white Lunar mana available for each spellbook.
- Necromancers see black Necromantic mana oozing through the area.
PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, and POWER are synonyms and may be used interchangeably.
