I didn't appreciate your rude response to me. The reason why you were salty is becuase you misunderstood what I was saying, which is not my fault.

I didn't say the skill was free. I said you're losing out on FREE potency.

Using Carve and Spit without Dark Arts means you miss out on 350 potency to gain HALF of a dark arts back in Mana. If a Dark Arts Souleater is 400 over the base of 240, that means Dark Arts there is worth 160 potency. It's actually worth 140 since you'd use Delierum before you used Souleater plain.

So for HALF of a Dark Arts on Souleater you're gaining 70 potency.

That means DA Carve and Spit = 350 gained potency. Carve and spit = 70 gained potency (via the mana restore giving you half a Dark Arts Souleater)

In the future just reread a comment before replying and getting it wrong and being rude in the process.
