'MEDITATE'
Syntax: meditate
Classes: monk, shadow, psionicist, berserker
All classes are able to learn the meditation skill, which allows for a
quicker rate of mana regeneration. Some classes may take things a little
further and employ advanced mindfulness techniques to enter deep meditation.
Monks gain their power in a different way than most spell casters. While the
mana of others increase every tick, a monk's mana trickles away slowly. The
only way for monks to gain mana is to meditate or stay in their monastery.
Doing both will increase the gain even more. However, monks do not gain hit
points during meditation unless they are in specific areas of their monastery
or have fast healing. While meditating, the monks are cut out from the
outside world, just like if they were sleeping.
Berserkers meditate before battles in a way that works themselves into a
mania state, not for peace of mind. Be extremely cautious of a berserker
who is meditating! They will come out in hot rage, seeking a fight.
Psionicist meditation is sensitive to the environment and easily
disturbed by commotion and loud noise.
Meditating will bring hidden shadows out of hiding.
Note: If the meditate skill is unpracticed, it will fall back onto the
SOCIAL instead.
