Notes:

• If Anasterian runs out of mana, the skill automatically deactivates.
• Anasterian's Brilliance Aura allows this spell to run for longer.
• Most time, don't bother with this spell; Anasterian should not even be taking damage in the first place!

An aura that increases mana regeneration of the allied units affected by the aura, each level increasing mana regeneration per second.
