Ohh mystic I don't doubt it, i'm just saying that with the actual test I did
with my base wis and with my buffed up Wis there was only and increase of
about 50 mana or so, not really much to shake a stack at, I have never seen
a Mana calc for the priest type of classes, you cannot use the same one as
you do for casters for some reason it is different.
I don't doubt that with our level differences it will make a bigger increase
for you, i just wanted to state what I have found and what DEX has done for
me and all my friends, not just the wizard.
Also note, wizards Gate spells take extremely long time to cast, not talking
about their DD spells here, she can gate while being attacked in this way
