Stopping the World

Head East out of town and go to Old Haven. Use spells and abilities to deplete your mana and meditate there until you have raised your Meditation skill to 50. ------ Well met! I can teach you how to 'Stop the World' around you and focus your inner energies on replenishing your mana. What is mana? Mana is the life force for everyone who practices arcane arts. When a practitioner of magic invokes a spell or scribes a scroll, it consumes mana. Having an abundant supply of mana is vital to excelling as a practitioner of the arcane. Those of us who study the art of Meditation are also known as stoics. The Meditation skill allows stoics to increase the rate at which they regenerate mana. A stoic needs to perform abilities or cast spells to deplete mana before he can meditate to replenish it. Meditation can occur passively or actively. Actively Meditation is more difficult to master but allows for the stoic to replenish mana at a significantly faster rate. Metal armor interferes with the regenerative properties of Meditation. It is wise to wear leather or cloth protection when meditating. Head East out of town and go to Old Haven. Use spells and abilities to deplete your mana and actively meditate to replenish it. Come back to me once you feel that you are worthy of the rank of Apprentice Stoic and I will reward you with an arcane prize.
