5.20 Recovery of Health and Mana

The recovery of health and mana is an important part of ensuring that you remain alive when battling others. While generally drinking elixirs serve as the primary means of recovering both, there are two entirely "item free" methods of recovering your health and/or mana should you need to do so.

Sleeping
--------
By typing SLEEP, you can put yourself to sleep. While asleep, you will be unable to perform most actions, but will slowly recover health, endurance, and blood. Typing WAKE will wake you back up again, although it may take a bit of time to do so.

Meditating
----------
By typing MEDITATE or MED, you can begin to meditate in order to recover your mana and willpower. Meditating requires your full focus, so if you try and perform an action while doing so, you'll cease meditating until you begin to do so again.


Terminology
-----------
When reading ability help files, there is sometimes terminology such as 'natural healing' that you will need to know what it refers to. Generally it only refers to health recovery, unless otherwise specifically stated to also affect mana.

Natural healing:
This generally refers to a very specific set of healing methods that are available to everyone regardless of your class. Elixirs, the anabiotic pill, the boar/moon tattoo, racial health/mana regeneration, and sleeping/meditating come under this group.

Non-natural healing:
This applies to anything that isn't the above. So generally any skill that recovers health or mana.

Active healing:
This generally applies to any skill that requires you to use balance or equilibrium to heal yourself. Passive effects are not included.
