<div></div><p>Savante basically decreases the amount of power needed to cast a spell.</p><p>Illusory Allies can drop off of mobs, but cannot be bought at a NPC Merchant. Same with Savante and Spellshield (The 3 ANcient Teachings)</p>

<DIV>You still have to have enough power in your pool to cast the spell, because the reduction is applied after you cast the spell.</DIV>

<DIV>Savante reduces the amount of power used for spells/combat arts.  As for when it should be used, I usually decide when to use it fairly early and try not to wait until the group down to 25% power.  Basically if I notice we're in for a long fight (raids, overly ambitious tanks) I get it out early just to keep the power of the group high and to hopefully get another chance to cast it again later in the same fight.</DIV>

<P>The Ancient Teachings spells (every class gets 3, at 52, 55 and 5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  can be made by Sages who have scribed the Ancient Teachings recipe for that spell.</P> <P>Savante is great for long fights, ring events, groups that chain pull.  The whole group gets the mana cost reduction while it lasts.</P>
