Originally published at: How Does the Channeler Kit Affect Magic Point Pools?
How does Channeler work in practice for casting a spell or maleficence attack? Do you start with 1mp in the pool if you’re using your focus? So if it’s a 1 MP to cast maleficence, you don’t need to spend MP from your pool?
The Channeler's ability adds 1 MP to your pool of magic, so you must still spend 1 MP to cast a spell. Maleficence can't be enhanced by MP (it just costs 1), so the Channeler's ability can't enhance a maleficence attack.
