I just collected my 7th Arcane Whorl and Bethany's Gate Key from the Inner Courtyard.

When leaving the area and transitioning to the Gardens, my mana/magic regeneration is noticeably decreased, and is decreased again when transitioning from Gardens to Bethany's Cottage.

Anyone else have this issue or know of a workaround? I recall this happening on a older computer when I had the CD version of this game, so I'm almost certain this isn't an isolated case.

Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

I found a partial solution to the glitch myself, so I thought I'd share with anyone who might encounter it.

Switch to the Scythe as your equipped weapon, then switch to any other weapon.
I'm assuming that because the Scythe has a negative effect on mana regeneration, it forces the engine to recalculate the final result when switching to and from it.

The glitch does continue to reappear after later level transitions, so the cause may be related to the fact that mana regeneration is maxed after collecting 5 "Arcane Whorls", and the one I picked up in the Inner Courtyard was my 6th (not my 7th, as I thought)

Sorry for being a bother, and I hope this helps someone else!

Thanks for the update, though I haven't encountered the bug myself. There are mutiple factors that can impact the mana regeneration rate: Arcane Whorls found, Scythe, Haste, Shield, and possibly the Gel'ziabar Stone. If any of those is active during a level transition, it may reset/alter the mana regeneration rate, even though I've gone through multiple loading screens with the Shield active.

There are eight Arcane Whorls in the game, but I don't think there's a cap on the regeneration rate. If you pick up all eight, your mana will regenerate a bit faster than if you only have six.

Thank you so much! I was scratching my head trying to figure out why in the world my mana wouldn't be regenerating and the scythe was in fact the cause. Swapping to a different weapon fixed the problem instantly. :)
