The amount of mana required to cast a rune is tiny compared to adding extra mana to a geomancy or blight.

Doesn't your magic score also go up if you get thieved and have to re-cast your defensive rune?
Or, if you level up a runemaster and then re-cast your rune to take advantage of the higher level?

There is a very minor base spell power (since it costs a few mana to cast any spell). In most cases of magical combat, the extra mana drowns out the base mana by a huge margin. Since both sides have the same moon phase, that is also not a major factor in magical clashes. Overall, yes, the only thing the full moon effects is spell power and casting distance. If you aren't adding mana, the moon phase is largely irrelevant.
My sentence in the post above was probably constructed badly. Allow me to rephrase. [Adding extra mana] is done to increase the spell power, which makes the magic harder to dispel or overturn. Spell power is calculated as ((base mana + extra mana) * mage tower level * (1+moon bonus)). |

Interesting...does that mean geomancy (and blight) spells cast during the full moon are harder to dispel? Or is it only that adding mana is more effective during that time?

Your magic score goes up as a result of adding extra mana to geomancy and blight spells. This is done to increase the spell power (extra mana * mage tower level * (1+moon bonus)), which makes the magic harder to dispel or overturn.
Most likely the increase was a result of defeating a food geomancy on an enemy city, and then holding a -6% sharp frost blight in place during a siege. Negative food during a siege can cause population collapse if stored food reaches zero (often the result of a clearing attack or large thief strike). Alternately, the magic score boost might have been the result of a magical clash between two players, although that should cause a score increase for both sides. It could also just be a player boosting their magic score to increase player rank. |

Day 18. In the past 5 days, since my last post:
Incidentally, in that same time TCol has also gained 43 million Magic...anyone know what that's all about? I'm not sure how Magic points accumulate.... |

Grom, can you break out the players/cities for the public record? Just the razed or captured cities.
