[[Mana]], the powerful substance used in casting [[spells]] from [[scroll]]s or [[spellbook]]s, as well as in the practice of [[Inscription]] and execution of [[Special Moves]], is as rich as gold to any who use its power on a daily basis. The Meditation [[skill]] allows your [[character]] to increase the rate at which they [[Mana Regeneration|regenerate mana]].
 +
 
 +
Although simply having some ability in meditation is enough to improve your regenerative rate, you may also invoke the skill directly. If successful at active meditation then your overall regeneration rate will double, that is until you perform ANY action other then party/guild chat or are attacked. An [[Invisibility|invis'ed]] or [[Hiding|hidden]] character will be revealed if he or she actively meditates.
 +
 
 +
A character receives neither passive nor active Meditation bonuses while wearing non-[[medable]] armor unless it has [[Mage Armor]] as an [[Item Properties|item property]]. Many warriors instead take up the [[Focus]] skill, which has similar effects to Meditation but no armor-based limitations.
 +
 
 +
==Formulas==
 +
According to a [http://uo.stratics.com/content/skills/meditation.php popular UO web site], a character's mana regeneration is governed by the skills of Meditation and [[Focus]], the [[Intelligence]] stat, and any Mana Regeneration items that are equiped.
 +
 
 +
The following Mana Regeneration formulas illustrate the rate of regeneration from Meditation and Intelligence. For a full discussion of the subject, however, please see the main article on [[Mana Regeneration]].
 +
 
 +
:Rate from Med & Int = 2 + (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40
 +
 
 +
If you have a skill of 100 or better in Meditation you get a 10% bonus, making the GM+ formula:
 +
 
 +
:GM Rate from Med & Int = 2 + (1.1 * (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40)

“Monnnn-guhhhh-baaaatttt.” - Ancient meditative mantra

Mana, the powerful substance used in casting spells from scrolls or spellbooks, as well as in the practice of Inscription and execution of Special Moves, is as rich as gold to any who use its power on a daily basis. The Meditation skill allows your character to increase the rate at which they regenerate mana.

Although simply having some ability in meditation is enough to improve your regenerative rate, you may also invoke the skill directly. If successful at active meditation then your overall regeneration rate will double, that is until you perform ANY action other then party/guild chat or are attacked. An invis'ed or hidden character will be revealed if he or she actively meditates.

A character receives neither passive nor active Meditation bonuses while wearing non-medable armor unless it has Mage Armor as an item property. Many warriors instead take up the Focus skill, which has similar effects to Meditation but no armor-based limitations.

Formulas

According to a popular UO web site, a character's mana regeneration is governed by the skills of Meditation and Focus, the Intelligence stat, and any Mana Regeneration items that are equiped.

The following Mana Regeneration formulas illustrate the rate of regeneration from Meditation and Intelligence. For a full discussion of the subject, however, please see the main article on Mana Regeneration.

Rate from Med & Int = 2 + (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40

If you have a skill of 100 or better in Meditation you get a 10% bonus, making the GM+ formula:

GM Rate from Med & Int = 2 + (1.1 * (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40)
