In [[Horn of the Abyss]] {{withhota}}, the skill percentages are decreased to 20%, 35%, and 50%.


[[Dungeon]] heroes have [[mana vortex]] which gets them an additional 100% mana points added to a [[Dungeon]] visiting hero (one hero can replenish, every 7 days, per [[Dungeon]] town with this building).

For a mostly magical hero, Intelligence is useful. The best time of Intelligence is mid-game, when getting e.g. 100 spell points instead of 50 may be crucial for a major battle. {{hota}}{{-wh}} debuffs this skill and buffs [[Mysticism]], possibly so as to balance them between each other. Don't forget to reload mana prior to major missions.


== Other [[secondary skill]] concerning mana==
Intelligence is a excellent supportive secondary skill. Especially in large and extra large maps, where heroes grow to be more "mighty and magical", the amount of mana points may become crucial. For example, [[Resurrection|resurrecting]] a large army can consume massive amount of mana points. Dungeon heroes may be able to pass Intelligence, because they typically have the opportunity to build [[Mana Vortex]] in their cities, which basically has the same effect as expert Intelligence – the spell point maximum is doubled. However, enormous spell points amount (4 times more than usual) can make a Warlock with Intelligence almost invincible.
[[Mysticism]] enhanced mana regeneration - 2, 3 or 4 mana points instead of just 1 mana point when spending the night on travels and not in a town with a [[Mage Guild]].

[[Dimension Door]] jumps at 14 [[knowledge]] and Expert [[Intelligence]] are thus maximally 11, with Expert [[Air Magic]] and using 4 jumps per day that would be a little bit more of 2 days (4,4,3 usages) of [[Dimension Door]]s without [[Wizard's Well]] or [[Town Portal]] to a city, interrupting travels - not accounting for [[Magic Spring]]s or [[Magic Well]]s on the [[adventure map]] or a [[Mana Vortex]] of a [[Dungeon]] town.
