			==Regeneration==

			Your base magic regeneration rate (BMRR) is <code>7 + MMP/2</code>.<ref>{{source ref\|0.32.0\|player.cc\|1351}}</ref> This is doubled if you have the [[Mana Regeneration]] mutation. The following modifiers are then applied to determine total magic regeneration rate (TMRR):

			*An [[amulet of magic regeneration]] gives +40 MP regen.
			*The [[Amulet of Vitality]] gives +80 MP regen.
			*[[Armataur]]s gain a temporary MP regen bonus when rampaging.
			*[[Jiyva]] adds anywhere between 40 and 80, depending on piety level.

			Every turn (10 [[aut]]s) you accumulate regeneration points equal to your TMRR. When you accumulate 100 points, you restore 1 MP, and excess regeneration points are carried over to the next turn. If your action lasted longer/shorter than 10 aut, then the regeneration is scaled with time taken.
