When using mental absorption, you may wonder if it is possible to recover back
mana from the spell you absorb. In fact it is possible. If you absorb reflected
spell with mental absorber and you have absorber feedback active, you can
recover part spell\'s casting cost. The more you know this skill, the more mana
you can recover. However, absorber feedback requires some mana to start
working. You need to have available twice as much mana as is casting cost of
the incoming spell to trigger absorber feedback successfully. This is update to
mental absorption, so you need only twice casting cost, not three times (once
for mental absorption plus twice for absorber feedback). When you successfully
absorb incoming spell and manage to recover mana from it, you increase your
mana reserve, so you will have more for next spell. But beware, that it is not
good idea to try to get above maxmana. If you do, your mind might overload and
explode. Also it is dangerous to try to use absorber feedback if you don\'t have
enough mana to start it, as it will only make things worse instead of absorbing
the spell.
