HB at a 25 prep.

A brilliant stream of pure white light jumps toward a forest geni from Suriaah, warping into a hammer-shaped force that slams into it!
It lands a good strike against its chest!
The hammer-shaped light silently explodes.

You gesture at a forest geni.
The mana you were holding contributes to the spell.
A thousand tiny spiders crawl out of their hiding places and begin crawling over a forest geni, trapping it in a coccoon of sticky webbing.
Roundtime: 1 second.

most creatures with claws are immune to webbing as they will slice through it such as forest geni's

so reguardless if its min prep or 100 mana it'll have the same effect all except the poison will be stronger <g>

>prep hol 30

You close your eyes and breathe deeply, gathering energy for the Hands of Lirisa spell.

>release

You aren't holding any mana.
You let your concentration lapse and feel the spell's energies dissipate.
Type RELEASE HELP for more options.

>prep sott 30

That will disrupt most of your current attunement.
You close your eyes and breathe deeply, gathering energy for the Senses of the Tiger spell.
*******************************************

Notice that prepping HOL didn't give me the Disrupt most of your current attunement message at 30... but right afterwards Sott did give me that message. Same Prep too. This a bug? Messaging based upon skill level? or do different spells take mana at different rates?

That does seem odd, but there is a skill check (PP skill I believe) involved. You could be having a very odd strain of bad luck I guess. You should try to rapidly prep and release HOL many many times in a row to see if you ever get the messaging or not...

However, at first glance it does look like a bug to me.

<<Messaging based upon skill level? - Tusca>>

Correct. Specifically which skills, I won't claim to know for certain, but logic would lead one to believe PM, Harness, and PP would factor in some way.

And, yes, I have seen increased frequency in messaging as I've gained skill in magics.
