People need to check facts before posting incorrect things.

I do not say this spell is something to clap your hands for,
but to set people straight..

1:...ALL the standard elemental Mage pets uses mana.
They have a fairly low mana pool. They will cast their spells
whenever they have enough mana to cast ... NO, their spells is NOT proc's.

2:...If you dont believe this, try sick pet on something that drains mana,
like Quarg Malestrohm in OOT. You will notice the pet only cast's 1 or 2 spells
untill the drain hits it, then he will be OOM for the rest of the fight, unless you use a high lvl pet that resists it.

So This spell is usefull, if you solo .. without KEI and the Pet group buff AA's.

the extra mana regen will get you higher DPS from most pets, as long as the
mobs you are killing isn't too resistant

Here's my 2cp on this spell. it's only usefull for the 50+ fire pets that are considered wizzys. No other pets use mana. If you give a fire pet C2 or this they do cast a LOT more as their mana pool emptys they can't cast so they mele and they suck at mele. With this or C2 even in a fast group I've never seen my pet run OOM and stop casting all together. They pause frequently but with some form of mind candy it brings their average DPS up quite a lot... the low down is this. If you hate the fire pet, this won't make you like it. It does make the fire pet considerably better, but all in all the 52 one WITHOUT clarity or kindle is basicly pointless 49 fire has MUCH higher DPS... add in clarity and, assuming he never gets hit, this puts him up there with water or air though I haven't parsed any logs to confirm this, just from what I see.

So here's what I do. Solo, NEVER use fire, it WILL die and so will you. I prefer air because I prefer buffing and equiping to chain casting but if you plan to chain cast, it's a no brainer, use earth (root = valuable re-cast time if U need it). Duo I use water or air because ither can take a hit if your friend gets low on health, but if you're duoing let your friend put the pet behind and water will BS for some extra DPS. In a full on group personaly I like water if the tank is willing to put it in back to BS, if not (lazy/dumb/won't listen, etc. you know tanks *sigh*) then fire becomes a very good choice IF it has mana regen (or you're 52 because most groups freak out over a rooting pet...) but air is never a bad choice, esspecialy agains't casters because that stun sure helps when they plan on hitting you with a nice hard nuke. In conculssion to this CRAZY long post. KNOW YOUR PETS! know what they can and can't do, and if you're grouping know what the group wants/needs from you and suggest what they can do to make your pets better (cmon, it's not THAT hard to circle the pet to the back for an aextra 162points in BS every now and then... PLUS he nukes harder than air, cmon what's not to like about that?)

one last note... duo, necro or SK... fear + BS + other pet + dots + nukes = crazy exp and low down time

I have not seen much talk about the fire pet's newest spells. Seems like since that one patch a few weeks ago, my 52 fire pet casts a LOT. I have even started to use the fire pet in groups that have "slowers". I still have not decided on buying this spell ... may wait till i get the fire pet that casts the ice comet nuke.

Who knows, this might have only had the purpose to up the usage of the high level fire pets and make mages a bit more effective in groups. I would have still rather had a 3 to 10 mana regen spell for me tho. But best to look on the bright side cause humans like me can't see s*** in the dark 8P

These are just my ramblings ... like I said, maybe useful under conditions ... maybe not.

Spell can be found in the Tunnel in East Commons.
Along with the enchanters & Pallys, But alas not thw Wizards new one.

They made a spell to regenerate our pets mana but not ours? All the caster classes in the game have an effective way to get extra mana. We mages have mod rods. Yes the wonders of mod rods. I can give 450 hitpoints to get 250 mana, but only every 5 minutes. Yes a lovely trade that. I can give up that many hp to not get enough mana to cast one of my spells. Now that is a sweet trade off.

Oh, I almost forgot our reclaim energy, yes that is a great way to get mana back, but then wait...that kills our pet and then we have to remake the pet and arm him. Now of course if you have the right skills I guess you can cycle pets. Cast, reclaim, cast, reclaim and so on. So lets hope you dont run out of malachite. Then of course you have the AA skill that lets you not consume malachite. So maybe its balances out.

Oh, also I cant forget the THUNDEROUS amount of mana regen we get from Transons Phantasmal Armor. Yes, that makes it all worth while.

However, when you look at it mages are supposed to be a solo character, then why do we have to spend AA, and LOTS of AA to be able to do what most casters get to do all the time.

It would be very easy and logical to make a spell where magicians can draw mana from the world around them. After all we are ELEMENTALISTS. You know, the stuff that makes up every damn thing on the planet. Being able to tap the elements around us for mana doesnt seem like that much of a stretch does it?

I am sorry, a useful spell? No, not even when you take into account the fire pet. Every other pet attack is a proc so more mana isnt going to help them. This is one more attempt at Verant throwing mages a hush puppy while everyone else sits down to the full meal at the table.

Well, sorry about the venom and the rant.

the 50+ fire pets were LEVEL 20 or so for dmg, not 20 pts.

anyone can tell me if you buy the spell 2 times the first time its gonna be scribes as elemetal empathy and the second time as kindle is that possible????

I bought this spell and it changed to Elemental Empathy -- it is a lvl 52 spell and increases ur hit points, armor class, and magic resist, while increasing pet's attack speed, armor class and strength. This is what it states on the spell effect.
I see no crack on it.

According to the magician boards (http://forum.magecompendium.com/tower/index.php) Kindle is sold from the spell merchant in the East Commons Tunnel for around 300pp.

if the spell listed is parsed from Lucy,then the chance of it actually existing is rather slim as Lucy reads the spell data from a global file that has components that apply to Test as well as Live..most likely Kindle is a Test spell if at all
