    But not Original Scatter. 3/3 Mana with a 30% chance of 7/7 extra yielded an average of 5.1/5.1 Mana per cast, which once put it as our highest yield short-cast spell (and would put it worth using in single-target if Enhanced popped before then -- which could be kind of an interesting proc now that I think of it, actually, if it buffed Jolt but was procced by other spells).
    However, the actual yield isn't my concern since we had Moulinet's cost reduced anyway.

    While you are right that Veraero/Verthunder have always generated more Mana per cast than Red spells, the important thing is that before now there also were no long-cast Red spells, which the new Impact outright defies.
    It's a curiosity, then, both that a tradeoff for the greater potency per cast is a reduced Mana income (which is not something we face in the main rotation), and that our AoE quickcasts generate more Mana per cast than Jolt.

    As I said, unnecessary and largely fueled by personal opinion, I just think it's strange and slightly weakens the impact of... well, Impact.
