I'm trying to add level requirements to the box in the upper-right corner, but both the things I tried don't add a row with the information. Would someone mind helping me figure out how to add that so I can run around the other pages adding the Level Requirements? Because I know as much about adding things like that as I know about speaking Latin. And I don't speak Latin at all.Swk3000 (talk) 14:02, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, firstly if you are editing using the rich text editor, you'll need to go to "source" mode (there should be a button on the right side of of your editing bar). Next you'll want to edit the info box which will look like

{{SkillSpellTalentTransformer
|style = {{{style|}}}
|name= [[Draining Aura]]
|type= [[Battlemage]]
|icon= DrainingAura.png
|description= The battlemage thrives in the heat of combat, creating a field that drains life from nearby enemies to heal the mage for as long as the spell is active. Each time an enemy is drained, the spell consumes a small amount of the battlemage's mana. 
|effect type= Sustained
|range= Personal
|upkeep=100
|fatigue= 10%
|cooldown= 10s
<!--Below information is for the SkillSpellTalentRow-->
|effects= 
Sustained<br />
Range: Personal<br />
Upkeep: 100<br />
Fatigue: 10%<br />
Cooldown: 10s<br />
}}

To add the level you need you'll want to add a "Requires" field, making the infobox look like

{{SkillSpellTalentTransformer
|style = {{{style|}}}
|name= [[Draining Aura]]
|type= [[Battlemage]]
|icon= DrainingAura.png
|description= The battlemage thrives in the heat of combat, creating a field that drains life from nearby enemies to heal the mage for as long as the spell is active. Each time an enemy is drained, the spell consumes a small amount of the battlemage's mana. 
|effect type= Sustained
|range= Personal
|upkeep=100
|fatigue= 10%
|cooldown= 10s
|effects= 
|requires=level required
<!--Below information is for the SkillSpellTalentRow-->
Sustained<br />
Range: Personal<br />
Upkeep: 100<br />
Fatigue: 10%<br />
Cooldown: 10s<br />
Requires: Level required<br/>
}}

And that should do it.

mana drain[]

someone might want to note that if you use this ability with multiple enemies against you that you can dump hundreds of mana in seconds. even stacking up as much mana as possible, with over 50 base willpower this spell will drain the entire bar in a matter of seconds.

the only way i could see it even being possible to turn this on for more than a tick or two in most situations is combined with stoic and you were effectively trying to take as much damage as possible and ride the line of killing yourself to function, lol.

i really wanted to like this spell, but its just easier to chug a heal pot and be done with it than mess with this thing possibly turning off toggles and having to drink a mana pot anyways.
