Mana tonics

[cosmonaut.zero]

Are mana tonics bugged or just really good? It seems to be giving me the bonus for each individual gem when I pop gems without matching them. For example, if I cast Dark Channels and pick a color for which I have an active tonic, I'm getting 6+ mana for each of that color on the board. It also seems to be working for the exploding skulls.

So yeah, I'm totally abusing it for now, but I'm just curious if other people have noticed this and whether it's being classified as a bug or a feature. ;)

It'd definitely present in the 360 version, so I think it's intended. And yeah, it's really, really good. I have an Epic Ancient Blue Mana Tonic, a Glyphic Amulet (+blue max mana), and I just spam Mage Strike after casting dark channels. I had some trouble with the Archlich and his 96% spell resist though.

Epic blue tonic + Dark Channel + ice shield :)

Haha, yeah, that's what I used against the archlich. It really sucked when he nuked my blue mana though. That really, really hurt, and I had to get lucky after to land both another dark channel and another ice shield.
