Seems the mana calculator works fine for below 200, but after 200 its a different calculation. I've heard from others as well that they are still getting good mana when over 200 wis/int whereas normally you shouldn't. I believe in Kunark or Velious they changed this so that you weren't wasting the extra wis/int since there were so many new items pushing you well beyond the soft cap. Most likely what is happening is they are using a non-classic mana calculation.

I personally have the Velious UI going so I can't even tell how much mana I have except for how much the bar moves when casting big spells. I love the UI, just wish I knew how to add an actual mana value to it.
Hmm, all I know is that from 200-255 on classic you should only be getting 1 mana per int (or wisdom) above 200. Soft cap was raised in Kunark but I'm not certain by how much. Velious might also have seen some changes, I haven't done the research.

The default UI that comes with the game does show actual mana numbers so I can check this out when I get home. Now that I can boost my int to 207 (with Brilliance) I should be able to test it out pretty easily.

I'll get back to you.
