Weave the Arcane

Weave the Arcane is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Trickster. It increases maximum mana, removes mana cost from skills with the Movement tag, grants increased attack speed and cast speed if you have used a Movement skill recently, grants a chance to recover a percentage of maximum mana on active skill use, and grants damage reduction after spending 200 mana.

Mechanics

Channelled skills: The modifier 20% chance to Recover 10% of Maximum Mana when you use a Skill only applies when one activates a channelled skill for the first time. It does not continue to grant mana recovery as one spends additional mana on channelled skills that are already activated. However, all mana spent during a channelled skill is counted towards Reduce damage taken by 8% if you have spent a total of 200 mana recently.

Repeated skills: When a skill is repeated, such as when supported by or , the modifier 20% chance to Recover 10% of Maximum Mana when you use a Skill only applies once since the skill is only used once.

Blood magic: Any life spent by skills supported by Blood Magic does not count towards the total mana spent.

Eldritch Battery: When the keystone passive Eldritch Battery is allocated, any energy shield spent does not count towards the total mana spent.
