This doesnt even count Ruin 2, of which you get AT LEAST 4 per minute, sometimes more. which is more than twice the cost of a ruin 2, x4 or x5, depending. So yeah, dat MP loss. this also doesnt count multidotting, of which there is TONS in FCoB.
Thanks for the maths and your share Odowla as for the ruins II during turn 13, like you said it will vary a lot depending of RNG, during mega-flares it will be like 1-2 and during earthshockers 3 (if you are the target, of course)... those drain a lot of mps if you decide to not make any DPS sacrifices, ballad is then needed during divebombs (which not last long :x).

As main SMN since 2.0, I never had to encounter such frustrations during fights, especially turn 12 and 13, I just shouldn't ask myself at all if it is a wise idea to reapply the next shadow flare because of bad design or the RNG god wanted to strike.... Of course it should be there! Just like the ruin II during mandatory movements X.X /huge-disappointment.
