Did you have her cast a spell afterwards to see if that mana
was real? There's a phantom mana bug with Clarity, where
sometimes the mana bar will appear to fill faster than your
real mana. But when you cast a spell, the server sends the
client the correct amount, and that first spell seems to use a
lot more mana than it should. This is a client/server synch
problem of undetermined origin, so I wouldn't be surprised if
our other songs could cause it.
