Your spell power is now equal to 65% of your attack power, and you no longer benefit from other sources of spell power.
Your instant spells and totems cost 75% less mana and your shock spells cost 90% less mana.
Your melee attacks have a 40% chance to immediately restore 5% of your mana.
Mental Quickness is a passive specialization ability for EnhancementShamans that grants spell power equal to 65% of your attack power, but causes the shaman to no longer benefit from other sources of spell power. It also reduces the mana cost of all instant and totem spells by 75%, reduces mana cost of shocks by 90%, and grants your melee attacks a 40% chance to restore 5% of your mana.
Notes[]
Mental Quickness affects totems, shocks, and other spells such as [Bloodlust] or [Heroism].
