I was thinking of that originally, but that seemed extreme. Besides, I am not dealing with mana gains or losses; I am dealing with the difference between your current mana and the mana quantity you had during last update, or mana delta. This is a much smaller amount.

The idea for ACM came from a guild healer that wanted to know how effective he was at conserving mana partway though a fight. He can see his current mana on his unit frame. "Am I actually conserving mana, and how effectively am I conserving it?" was his question.

SDPhantom, if 1100 is too low, I can either hard code it up, or take Dridzt's suggestion and make it a user setting.
