Angry Unfortunately, You Can't...

This would be a nice feature to have, unfortunately, unless something has been radically changed in WotN versus older KB versions the mana system is hard coded to use the mana cost for spells specified in SPELLS.TXT.

It is easy to change the mana cost display, but the game still uses the values specified in SPELLS.TXT. I tried very hard to work around this with my H3B mod (for The Legend), but no matter what I did, the game still used the values specified in SPELLS.TXT.

About the only thing you can do is give a "rebate" for casting spells, i.e. cast spell X and then mana cost is subtracted, but then a certain amount is added back (that's basically how Mana Spring and other mana giving abilities work as they essentially just add mana to your Hero when the right condition occurs). This is the only way I could think of to get it to "work", but it's not the same, plus since I haven't implemented it, there may be other issues...

Maybe someone will find out a way, but for now I'm almost 100% certain that it is not possible - sorry!
