Bars should not draw more from you than the cost of the spell

You feel magical resistance to your connection with Saeth Gylchog cause you to use 3 MP from your personal mana reserves. (2021-12-31 22:51:24).

I cast a 2mp spell and lost 3mp. It’s not clear from the wiki if this is supposed to be the case or not. But would suggest not making the mp spent more than the cost of the original spell.

While connected to a Font a character may, for 1 AP and 10 MP, set a bar against another character that has utilized that Font in the past 24 hours. Each bar against a single character will cause them to spend 1 MP from their own MP pool every time they perform a drawing action while connected to the Font.

Pretty sure that's working as intended!

No, I think that quote from the wiki is ambiguous.
And even if its intended... Why? It makes no sense lorewise or gameplay wise for it to work like that.

"Each bar against a single character will cause them to spend 1 MP from their own MP pool every time they perform a drawing action while connected to the Font." has no implication of an upper limit. The excess MP drained should probably go into the font, I think I remember reading a suggestion in NC general like that

I like the idea of being able to refuel the fonts with this. Makes more sense than the MP just disappearing into nothingness.

I feel like that should just be a separate action. Though maybe removing a bar could replenish MP to the font. I don't really like the idea of player-policed fonts though (and made a suggestion about a possible alternative).

aggro font that drains your mp might be a more interesting design route
