Would be the mana cost in the database is actually the % of base mana that you have.

I use base mana because I have a system where for every 1 INT you have you gain 10 mana.


An example would be you have 500 base mana and 25 INT, using a spell which costs 5% base mana.
The spell would cost 25 mana because 5% of 500 (base) is 25. The 25 INT would grant you an additional 250 mana, putting you at 750 mana, but not increasing the mana cost of the ability (I hope this isn't sounding bad lol).

States that change the percentage of INT would also change your mana, but not your base mana.
States that change the percentage of MANA would not change the base mana.

Thanks! :D
