Mana maximum dropped to zero

[Mortlach]

Hello.
I am quite new to planeshift, but went through the tutorials to look for a solution for my problem.
I decided to learn some magic, so i bought a glyph. Since i purified the glyph (and another glyph i aquired through a quest] my mana maximum dropped to zero. It was 14 after character creation. So now i have two spells in my spellbook, but i can not cast the spells, because i do not have any more mana points.

Any idea what went wrong?

 Open you stats box [push P on keyboard] were mana bar is, is it 0/0 OR 0/14 ?
If 0/14 it will slowly recover.
If 0/0 then you do have a problem.

as i said the maximum is dropped to zero, so it is 0/0.

I created a new character yesterday with -1/0 Mana. So maybe it was something to do with your selections during creation?

Sounds like the ugly mana bug may have risen from the grave, was it all squished and gooey?
I just created a character that had a normal amount of mana, perhaps you could list the creation options taken so someone else can try them and see if it can be replicated reliably.

I just created another char just to test the outcome. Using the same options, i get a charachter with -1/0 Mana every time.

This looks very much like the old bug, perhaps the fix got lost in the roll-back. My kran had 2 mana-points for almost a year until someone fixed me up. I am not sure how they did it because trhe story I got was that the mana bug was fixed but characters that were affected by it had to be remade. Well, I just role-played being under a curse and refuse to recreate my character and someone, a dev or Gm, I do not recall who eventually took pity on my character and fixed him somehow.

Could someone poke an appropriate dev and point to this thread? I think it merits attention.

there are certian stats you have to have to have mana..I foget excatly wich two or three effect your manna but somoen once told me that was the problem.. so try increasing your main sats such as Char, Int, Will, End, and what not

[bilbous]

If this is the old bug then increasing stats would not help. However I just started a kran with 25 mana points so it is likely a case of too low int, wil, and cha. All the same I do not think a negative total should be possible, although this is a different problem from what the OP mentioned.

when I saw this post i decided to create a char just to see
It seems that it is the decisions you made in char creation I made 3 chars which i have deleted also
and I created 2 with a -1 in mp's
but when i trained up the physical stats that are required to raise your mana points the points went up
Not as fast as they used to but the one charictor i made ended up with 24 mp
before i deleted him
So i doubt it is the Bug
I created a Kran to the choices you mentioned before
by the way what weapons do you weild?
Some can impact stats to the good
and some can drasticlly hurt your stats
I can not go into much detail on this because i only know of one weapon that will hurt your stats
Plus I do not know if going into this will be a spoiler
look for me ingame and i will explain what i know
i go by the same name in game as listed here
Good luck
i hope this has helped some
