I recently dinged 52 on my wizard and discovered that Manaskin is consuming 2 pdots per cast, instead of 1 as it should. For evidence, I offer the following:

Archived
www.graffe.com from June of 2000. If you click on "spells" on the left it bumps you to September 18, 2000. Click on lvl 52 and find the following (bold added by me):
Quote:
Manaskin
Skill: Abjuration
Mana Required: 330
Spell Duration: 1200 ticks (2 hours)
Casting Time: 5.0 seconds
Spell Recovery: 2.25 seconds
Description: Personal shield that will absorb from 521 (L52) to 591 (L59) damage to yourself only. While it is active, it will add 1 mana point per tick (6 seconds). This spell uses a peridot when cast. Manaskin is stackable with enhancements such as Clarity and Mana Song.

I've looked on earlier versions of graffe.com and september 18, 2000 seems to be the earliest version of the "spells" portion the internet archive has, so I searched through archived patch messages.
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2000-1.html
All patch messages from January 2000 - June 2000, no mention of manaskin.
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2000-2.html
All patch messages from July 2000 - December 2000, no mention of manaskin.
Based on that, it is reasonable to presume that the information from graffe.com September 18, 2000 is applicable to the current point of the P99 timeline, and manaskin should only be consuming 1 peridot per cast.
