Inspiration Support is a support gem that reduces the mana cost of linked skills. When the supported skill is used, it grants an Inspiration Charge, which grants more elemental damage and increased critical strike chance to linked skills. You lose all Inspiration Charges after you spend a certain amount of mana.
The mod of this gem: Supported Skills have #% reduced Mana Cost does not affect mana reservation.
Supported skills grant you a Inspiration Charge when you spend mana with them, up to 5 charges. These charges last for 10 seconds. If you haven't generated a charge within those 10 seconds, you will lose all Inspiration Charges.
This creates a mana counter for all skills linked with Inspiration Support, up to the respective cap.
As soon as a skill is used that puts the total mana spent above the threshold, the mana counter is reset to 0 and all Inspiration Charges are removed.
Hence lower mana costs result in better usage of Inspiration Charges. For example, if it takes 100 mana to cast a skill, the first 5 casts will average at 50% of the gem's potential and then the next 3 casts will be at 100% potential, while a mana cost of 1 will result in 795 casts at maximum efficiency after the first 5 initial casts.
The reduced mana cost of skills is additive with other sources of reduced mana costs.
The Inspiration Charges grants more elemental damage and increased critical strike chance per Charge to linked skill gems. Inspiration Charges are shared between all skills linked with Inspiration Support. It doesn't matter which skill created the charges, each skill linked to this support will benefit from the charges even if the skill doesn't use mana like Righteous FireRighteous FireSpell, AoE, Fire Level: (1-20) Cooldown Time: 0.30 sec Can Store 1 Use(s) Cast Time: Instant AoE Radius: 18Requires Level 16Engulfs you in magical fire that rapidly burns you and nearby enemies.

By supporting both Righteous Fire and another skill, like Shield Charge, with Inspiration Support, it is possible to generate charges with the attack, while having Righteous Fire benefit from the support gem.
Builds that use Ignite as their main damage source can use the "more elemental damage" multiplier to scale both the initial hit and the ailment.
So while this gem doesn't have the highest more-multiplier, the downside of generating and maintaining charges can be easily managed while other support gems come at a steep opportunity cost such as reducing critical strike chance with Controlled Destruction SupportControlled Destruction SupportSpell, Critical, Support Icon: C Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 140%Requires Level 18Supports attack skills, or spell skills that deal damage.Supported Skills have 80% less Critical Strike Chance Supported Skills deal (25-39)% more Spell Damage
