Sanctuary of Thought

Sanctuary of Thought is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Hierophant that grants less mana cost to skills and mana reservation, and additional maximum energy shield equal to a percentage of the user's maximum mana. It also grants increased area of effect based on the amount of your maximum mana.

Mechanics

Modifiers like and  apply multiplicatively as usual.
