Starting to think SE went overboard again on the MP cost of spells...

546 Mp For Thundaga?
714 MP for Firaga?

Soloing Kobolds, yeah I kill them fast, but if I don't kill all the mobs in that one fight, I am so screwed.

That ability to half the cost of the spell to give MP back, is not helpful at all.

Kinda need my Siphon MP back to stack with that buff, maybe then it'll be awesome. And Exaltation.
