The Major Elemental spell 501, Sleep, has been updated.
The mana cost of the spell has been changed from 1 mana per 2 levels of the target, capped at 20 mana to a summation seed 1 based off of the target's level. That is, a level 1 target costs 1 mana whereas a level 105 target costs 14 mana. This mana cost grows at a much slower rate than the previous one.
The duration of Sleep was previously determined solely by the level of the caster. Duration is now based off of the warding margin (endroll).
When imbedded by the Magic Item Creation spell or charged by the Charge Item spell, Sleep counts as a level 8 spells to emulate the variable mana cost for different targets. The restriction of only being able to use Sleep cast from a magic item on a level 2 target has been removed. Also, when casting Sleep from a scroll, the spell will no longer take mana from the caster.
Sleep now counts as a spell of war.
