	So a bunch of years ago(I believe pre-MOTU) I got suckered into backup-healing a shroud raid on my barely potty-trained cleric. At one point, the sorc asked me to "just keep casting heals" then did something that re-filled his spell-points very quickly at the cost of hit-points(which I was able to keep topped-off by rapid-firing different healing spells). What the hell did I see? I remember being told at the time and I assume whatever it was has since long been removed from the game, but it has always bugged me.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	...Plausibly. I seem to recall him regending a lot more than 250 SP and taking a whole lot more than taking enough damage that he needed several heals to survive. I know things were different back then but even on elite that was only 190 damage. Side note: blood sacrifice cost more HP on higher diffs, but does the SP also scale?

	Twisted Talisman was my first thought. Next thought are the larva from Xachasian (so?) Eardweller. But I can’t recall if those damaged you

No I distinctly remember he was standing in a "safe" spot(its just one of those memories thats fixed in my mind), plus he was regenning WAY to fast for it to be blades(you can stand in the spears dancing and still only proc like 4 torc hits).

	My thoughts: 1. Epic talisman could have epic'd version of blood sacrifice spell for a brief time? 2. There was an exploit back in the days that let you carry 2each exclusive item (buyback and dragging from bank while DC'ed), also prolly some exploit to fast-using it so this guy could just use 4blood sacrifice (2heroic, 2epic) in no-time. 3. If he was pure arti it might be that Blood Sacrifice scaled with arti Arcanotechnician capstone to CL:20, and prolly this spell takes more HP giving more SP with CL upgraded. Also some levels with arti gives wondrous items up to +5 with it's CL. 4. EROSS, or ROSS with artificer wondous items/capstone, and he just removed his HP/CON ring to do that 5. Torc procing on some self-damaging skills/spells, and maybe this guy managed to self-damage for 1dmg but hundrets times. Maybe a vicious weapon, wearing 2 uncleansed GS, dunno. Maybe we can excavate some old exploit out of it

	Here's a drama, There's a drama, and another little drama Fuzzy drama, Funny drama, drama drama duck drama drama, cheesecake drama, tablet, brick, potato, drama drama drama mushroom drama, drama drama duck

So far this is most plausible based on the amount of damage taken vs. amount of SP regained. Oracler wrote on Nov 29^th, 2020 at 7:03pm: 3.

Maybe a vicious weapon, wearing 2 uncleansed GS, dunno. Was happening too fast and procing too often to be tork/conc. And generated way more SP. Unless blood sacrifice can proc torc?
