The mana exchange rate does not seem to be very high, as I've never noticed a real increase in mana after using this spell on my pet. Useful mostly for letting your pet go gracefully when you zone or camp (otherwise it kills itself for 32000 damage)."

Other post in found through link diving show similar results at later dates the exchange rate was low.

"
Apperently no one understands the usefulness of this spell. At higher levels (12 up) conjuring a pet takes roughly half your mana. If the pet is to weak, you reclaim it and gain a little less than half of the mana back. When you solo, the strength of your pet is very important."
