== Starlight Aura Cost Estimates == |
|||
I've been trying to quantify SLA cost for spells. From my testing, the lowest SLA-consuming spell is min-cast CRD. I'm defining the SLA used by a minimum mana CRD as 1 "SLA bit." |
|||
With 700 Lunar Magic, my SLA pool is approximately 1,700 bits (meaning I could cast 1,700 2 mana CRDs without residue indoors before running out of SLA). |
|||
Most spells seem to ramp up their SLA costs pretty close to 1:1 with mana. So a 100 mana BLUR is roughly 20x SLA as a 5 mana BLUR. (Exceptions are Regalia which is always 15 SLA bits, and FLU which appears to be more generous in terms of requiring less SLA with higher mana.) |
|||
When regenerating SLA, pulses come every 90 seconds. It took me 85 pulses (2 hours) to go from 0 to 100%. This is around 1% SLA every 90 seconds, which for me was 20 SLA bits at the time of these tests (which again, was roughly 700 Lunar Magic). |

|||
Elison's SLA is per attack avoided, not per cast. Elanthipedia also says that amount of SLA depends on how thoroughly you win the contest. And while the creature I tested on did cause SLA drain every time, they were a tier below my normal hunting. So more difficult enemies probably have higher SLA costs. |
|||
Remember that these are just rough estimates. Measurements were made with different Lunar Magic levels (680-720), which isn't ideal. There's probably some user error lurking in the measurements and calculations somewhere along the line too! |
