Meditation

Meditation in Ultima Online

Mana, the potent substance used for spellcasting, Inscription, and executing Special Moves, is essential for those who harness its power. The Meditation skill enhances your character's mana regeneration rate.

Simply possessing some level of Meditation improves your mana regeneration. Active use of the skill can double this regeneration rate temporarily, but any action other than party/guild chat or being attacked ends this bonus. Additionally, actively meditating reveals hidden characters.

Characters do not benefit from Meditation while wearing non-medable armor, unless it includes the Mage Armor property. Warriors often opt for the Focus skill, which offers similar benefits without armor restrictions.

Formulas

Mana regeneration depends on Meditation, Focus, Intelligence, and equipped Mana Regeneration items. Here are the formulas:

• Rate from Med & Int: 2 + (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40
• GM Rate from Med & Int: 2 + (1.1 * (Meditation * 3 + Intelligence) / 40) when Meditation skill is 100 or higher, providing a 10% bonus.

Training

Active: Using Meditation via macro or skill button activation provides chances to gain skill.

Passive: Each mana point regenerated offers a chance to gain Meditation skill. Training is most effective when mana is kept below maximum.
