Agreed about SP usage, but I always ran out of hp stones rather than mana stones so I didn't really consider it a problem, also I'm not trying to say anyone's way is bad or anything like that, I'm just interested in the (friendly?) discussion about it all, because I find it interesting

(I'm aware of the irony of me not playing fiesta and finding fiesta mage discussion interesting

)
I need to go to sleep now though, so I'll check in on it in the morning if it's still going?
And uhh... sorry for derailing your thread... somewhat.
