Proverbially curious wisdom

from Elemental Forums

Sorry about the horrible pun in the subject :)

I just found "Breon's Proverbs" from a level 5 goodie hut...  the really curious part is that it gives +2 *WISDOM*.

Mana regen?  Just essence in disguise?

influences cost of spells (or at least it says it does)

you can set it when creating your sovereign, AFAIK you cannot gain it by leveling in game

 

one of the somewhat broken things

Wisdom = essence when creating a Sov.

Are you sure?

During sovereign creation it says that "wisdom determines the number of action points it takes to cast a spell" while essence AFAIK determines maximum mana.

So is wisdom the same thing as essence and only affects max mana, or is it the same and essence affects both max mana and action points cost or are these separate things?

Tooltips are usually wrong.

The last patch removed the effect of Wisdom on casting times.

It now does nothing, the Wisdom on the Sov creator really should say Essence.

I'm well aware that wisdom in the sovereign creator is called essence for the entire remainder of the game.

EXCEPT for this amusingly useless item.  It does *NOTHING* when used.
