I don't think charging camb is drawing the correct amount of mana from my pool. I'm using a staff that has Seal Cambrinth on it, if it matters. This just seems way too low:

>charge staff 78
You harness an immense amount of energy and attempt to channel it into your dragonwood staff.
You are able to channel all the energy into the staff.
The dragonwood staff absorbs all of the energy.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

>mana
You are Wizard-like in your ability at harnessing mana.
You currently have a good attunement to the streams of mana.
You are holding no mana in localized streams around you.
Attunement: [0%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>50%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|________100%]
You are receiving full harness messages (HARNESS VERBOSE is set).

>conc
You reach out with your senses and hear lambent streams (12/21) of harmonious Elemental mana coursing through the area.

Bear in mind that the mana bar is a percent. Not that you only have 100 mana to work with. I'm guessing you have a metric TON of magic heh.

Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

As a point of comparison, I just tried harnessing 78 mana, and it drained ~2.5 times as much of my attunement. I realize camb is supposed to be more efficient than harnessing, but a 60% reduction starts to look like a bug.

> A 60% difference at 80 mana is not at all out of bounds.

Wow, okay. Looks like I'm using camb for all my big casts.
