Hello! I have two small questions concerning magic, or rather, one question concerning MP regeneration, and one concerning the mage exploit arcane bolt.
My question about MP regeneration comes from how it is worded in the book. It says that a magic-user recovers MP when resting, and once per day they can spend time to regain their MP, then they need 8 hours of rest to regain the ability to do so.
How I initially read that is that when waking up in the morning (assuming a proper rest) you would have full MP, then during the day you can spend an hour to refill MP, and when you rest again at night, you regain both the ability to regain MP through time, and full MP. However, I realize it could also mean that you only regain MP after spending time to do so, and resting only refills the ability to spend time to get MP, so 8 hours of rest would not restore MP, just the ability to spend an additional hour to refill your MP. Which is it? I am still thinking it is the former, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
My second question is if you just roll MAG when using arcane bolt, or if you can roll MAG (evocation).
