I think my best example of this sort of things was when a Cleric joined the
party (not the first caster in the group) and immediately told me to "play
mana please". I sort of ignored it ... and a few mintues later he says
"ahhh mana coming back faster already!"
I was level 30 (not anon, not roleplaying)
He was very happy.
