 ==Mana Thresholds==
-An important concept for spellcasters is the idea of mana thresholds.  These are convenient maximum mana totals that allow you to cast specific glyph combinations.  While most of the time you can do tricks like exploring a single tile mid-battle to afford a spell you're just shy of, being able to conveniently cast the spell with no strings attached can be very important in its own right.  In addition, mana potions improve as your maximum mana increases and it's important to be aware when a +1 increase to your maximum mana will improve the value of all your potions (especially for {{r|gnomes}}, who can have ''a lot'' of potions)

 For instance, 12 mana is a threshold that allows you to cast {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} twice in a row, and 13 mana is a threshold that allows you to cast {{s|HALPMEH}} twice in a row and then finish with {{s|GETINDARE}}.  Additionally, and more subtly, 13 mana allows you to cast {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} three times in a row by expending one mana potion.  Even unusual numbers like 14 mana can open up combos like {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} followed by {{s|WEYTWUT}}.  Effects that change the cost of spells, such as the {{c|Berserker}} or {{c|Wizard}} class features or the ''Mystic Balance'' boon of {{g|Mystera Annur}} can change these thresholds; for instance, a {{c|Warlord}} under the effect of Mystic Balance greatly appreciates the 16 mana threshold (a number that doesn't normally open up any relevant options) because it lets him cast {{s|CYDSTEPP}} twice in a row.
