King's Bounty: Lina first skill bug?

When trying to do the truth test (Dreghen) I used two times the Lina skill because a ball has been destroyed and I needed it. At this points the balls didn't bring me anything and worth seem to have slower my mana regen rate from 2 points to 1 points. That battle is tough and last 18 rounds for an unfair lost that should have been a win without this bug.

Is there any trick with this bug? This one is quite ugly and I'm surprised that it hasn't been fixed.

If I remember correctly the mana regen degrades over time. It's +2 for some rounds, then +1 and then stops. The balls have different colors, the blue ones give mana and the red ones health, maybe you grabbed red ones? I don't remember a bug there, and I do remember using the spell more than once for long battles, getting mana correspondingly.

The +2 mana regen is the default I have without this skill, I get it from concentration level 1. When I use the Lina balls I have much more, at least 4.

During the battle an enemy run through the mana ball (curently 2 red 1 blue) and then as soon as I could I reuse the Lina skill and then quote only 1 mana regen per round despite the concentration level that should garanty two mana per round.

For none of those skills I see in their description that the rate lower as time progress. Strange nobody else quote this ugly bug. That could be some special rules but I don't see which one.

I'll check the slower mana regen as time progress but it's still weird that when I reuse the Lina skill I didn't reinitialize this if there was decrease along time.

There's definitely lower mana regen in a long battle, even with concentration maxed(you'll get a little dialogue note that the battle is exhausting, or something) so that part isn't a bug. Can't tell about the Lina thing;I got frustrated with the mana and health balls always being generated on the opposite side of the hex grid and never used that skill much.

Weird thanks to point it I haven't quote this detail about the concentration skill. Still the second Lina skill use is weird and seems quite like a bug.

I totally agree that the random part of this skill is a little irritating.

Really? I don't remember ever seeing that.


On a side note - I think all these different questions should just be asked in the King's Bounty thread, rather than starting a new thread for every question.

Now there are official threads? My country is in love with this sort of approach so I know very well all bad points it brings. With this logic any subforum should have only one thread, and the bad point is to make thread with mixed bag, such a garbage that only moderators read them. Let say I open 3 questions and then answers are mixed bag in a same thread, I don't see what is cool here.

Yeah, I think after 14 turns or something, but it's easy to miss--it's at the beginning of the turn. I only noticed on my mage when I was going "WTF? where's my +4 regen?!!!" and scrolled back through.

You are totally right, I tested it, the skill concentration level 1. It provides 2 per round until beginning of round 10 then a message explained the mana regeneration from concentration is halved. I continue until level 14 with 1 per round. Combat ended then.

Well now I need check Lina first skill behavior. Much less easy.

EDIT: That is a very bad observation, I wonder from what I get the feeling to have an increased mana regen per round with the Lina 1st skill. In fact you need walk into a ball to get a bonus (I bet if an enemy walk into the ball you also get the bonus).
