MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

I was thinking on ways to restore mana as it's the hardest to restore in the game, then a thought came to my mind. How about having mana restored either by a small fixed-rate when hitting an enemy with a wand or a small percentage of the damage dealt when using close combat with said wand? It would help blazers who need to get up, close, and personal, anyway, and help regular mages who need some mana but either don't have the pots to waste or forgot to bring some. As it would probably only restore a very small amount of mp, advance magics would be unaffected and would still require their fair amount of pot usage to use consistently. Thinking more on it, the amount of stamina during close combat with a wand could transfer into mp. If you want a limiting factor, the mp restoration effect could also only be applicable during Eweca. Anyway, what do you guys think of this idea?

This is a lot harder than it sounds to implement.

I agree, this it way harder than you could think. Plus, my main character was mage-oriented back then (but had a Claymore, huehuehue) and mana was never such a down-side to being a mage. Yes, you'll lots of pots and the like, but it's not that much of a down-side either. Well, I'm new to Mabi-Pro so I haven't checked how it is in game yet, I'm creating my character atm but mana shouldn't have changed much right ?
