Would it make magicians too OP? Well, if we have HP Drain why not Mana Drain? Could be an alchemy skill as well, and it would require Mana Drain Crystals :awesome:
Drop rate should be much lower than LD Crystals and synth % terribly low and materials expensive:
1 MP 100, 1 Basic Mana Preservation Stone and 1 gold ore. What do you think?:2thumb:
Additional details:
435 AP
320 MP Regen at R1

I would rather use the 100 mana pot. Do monsters even have mana?
100 mana pots seems easier to make too...

Overpowered.
Unless R1 drains 50 Mana. However that's saying if most Formors who aren't magic have mana.

OP. Waste of time to. Materials seem annoying to get. You dont seem to many mana presv. stones. Only way it wouldnt be OP was if it didnt have a knockback damage. Just the knockback. And used hp. Or something.

Overpowered. That w/ Mana shield would be endless.
Thats why they dont give DK's the ability to use LD in Disarm.

Hmm...what about a 5 second load time alchemy skill that doesn't take crystals but only restores 10 MP? Base damage is 10% of R1 Water Cannon's.
The MP gain is guaranteed, even if the enemy doesn't have 10 MP. It'd be useful for taking out rat rooms and easy stuff while regenerating MP.

While we're at it make a Stamina Drain skill.
No, just plain no.
Some skills are meant not to be made.
Mana Drain abuse would be used in Mana Shield, which would make mages tanks, which would make mages more useful, and more overpowered.

How about we make it deal absolutely NO damage, 2 sec load time, and gives 75 MP at R1?
Make it attract aggro too, and the monster can attack you while your using the skill.
It has about 1.5 seconds to drain the MP, and loading it takes away a HUGE amount of stamina?
It cannot be used in mana shield too, with the same principle as Dark Knight Disarm.

However, that's practically useless.
The only way this could be accomplished is probably using a cooldown or success rate.

FYI, that icon is for Mind Flay, not Mana Burn. *shadow priest in WoW*
Anyway, I don't see what's wrong with a sort of Mana Drain skill. With some of the context people here are putting it into, you could say Life Drain is overpowered too. But...we have it, and it's not breaking the game. I don't see a reason why it'd be so awful to include Mana Drain as well. Maybe using it puts a cooldown on Mana Shield. That good enough?

You can easily turn off mana shield to drain and turn it back on (no load time for mana shield) making the "cannot use mp drain when mana shield is in use" restriction not very restricting.

I hate the whole Mana Shield would be overpowered card.
If that's what stopping us from getting MP potions in shops, then nerf Mana Shield heavily and give us those darn pots.

Agreed. I think the mana drain idea is fine.
@qaccy that icon is from the drain mana skill from warlocks.
