Spells: Torpor Mana Expenditure

[Danth]

I posted research a couple years ago on this subject. The general consensus was that the mana tap component was at most a brief experiment on the test server that never went live.

I know this is late but I was curious about this. I find it peculiar that this was a 'test server experiment' when there are a few mentions to it across both of the big spell data sites of the day:

Caster's Realm 2001

Actual Effects: Target: Regenerate Health (1200)
Target: Slow Attack Rate (30%)
Target: Snare
Target: Reduce Mana (50)

DARN MANA CHANGES, By Zagukahnn (1/28/2001)

With the new mana changes this spell is now a melee only spell and maybe warrior only at that. This spell has now been removed as a solo heal spell since with the 400 mana cost to a self cast its only slightly better than SH. Anyways a great spell for use on the warrior or OOM hybrid. Zag

Looks to me like Torpor is a 300HP HoT with a 50 mana drain (total of 200 mana drain) when added up over all the ticks. Which is what both this and the evelore posts say. Which makes sense.

That link makes it sound like it only reduces mana by 50. It lists heal as 1200, not per tick.
