Inspiration Support

Template:Gem Infobox This support gem reduces the mana cost of linked skills, hence the lower than 100% mana cost multiplier. The reduction starts at 10% (mana cost multiplier of 90%) and increases as the gem gains levels. Important to note is that this gem will also reduce the amount of mana reserved by auras. Its quality bonus however, has no effect on auras.

This gem is first available as a quest reward for the Templar and Marauder classes in act 2 of cruel difficulty, and is also a reward for later quests for those two classes.

Gem Quality

Each percentage of quality adds +0.5% reduced Mana Cost.

Note that unlike the gem's mana cost multiplier, the quality bonus does not apply to mana reservation, such as found on Auras. The quality effect is the same as "Reduced Mana Cost" passives in the skill tree.
