I don't think it was the crypt - actually I think it was the Avatar level, which means maybe the level doesn't matter as much as I thought.

I think there must have been a version of MA that was pre Mana-Leak that allowed you to do that and I think it was my particular super powered MP engine report that got it changed

I believe the original magic boon was 5+5 for 1 MP per use, but raised monster magic resistance every time it was used. Obviously no good for BURNDAYRAZ or PISORF users (at the time, PISORF had a chance to fail on magic-resistant enemies) but for those using HALPMEH or CYDSTEPP it was jaw-dropping good.

I just noticed something that I believe is relatively new... Taurog desecration increases the Magic Resistance of all monsters (Mystera-style) by 10%. I noticed this around the EE update. However, very recently I also noticed that converting Taurog equipment now also increases monster MR by 10% (on top of the -10% attack penalty). So you can boost monster MR quite considerably with this.

We had a lot of problems with Bludtopowa and with the Transmuter, those kept going infinite in really sneaky ways.

Unfortunately this exact method doesn't work. When you cast Imawall on an empty space as a wizard Fire Heart will count it as a 2 mana spell and won't give a charge.

There are countless other, very similar methods with Transmuters, too bad they are all convoluted even compared to this.
