i notice a big difference when i dont have my wis items on....a sup heal takes a
little under a bar on 41 and with 143 wis....but on 41 with my base 95 wis, it
takes around a bar and a half, if not more.....(had to unfortunately test this
in nag's lair again last night...died and couldn't find/get to my corpse then
cuz solb is buggy....but that's beside the point)
