 * Totems will continue to cast your spells even after you run out of mana.
 * and will continue to deal damage after you run out of mana.

Snapshot

Spells that deal damage over time will snapshot their damage on cast. Therefore the they had when casted will last their entire duration. The longer the duration of the damage, the less often the player needs to spend mana to deal damage. For example:
 * A character has and  on the enemy with . (40 x 1.65 = 66%) (1 x 1.5 = 1.5) (1.5 / .33)  =  4.5 times the debuff duration.
 * and are debuffs that have longer durations. (6 x 4.5) = 27 seconds on vaal blight.  (3.8 x 4.5) = 17.1 seconds on essence drain.
 * If the character doesn't have enough mana to cast essence drain after spending a lot of it to boost indigon spell damage, use one of the zero mana cost options listed above the moment before you cast essence drain for maximum damage.
 * There are many benefits to not having to spend a large amount of mana for 17 or 27 seconds. You can use mind over matter and/or arcane cloak to take advantage of the defensive benefits of your unused mana. The mana can also be used to temporarily reserve auras after all your damage over time has already been applied. Remember to remove the aura later if you use 100% of your mana for boosting spell damage.
