Mana regen

A couple of days ago I was educated on this forum that mana regen bonuses don't apply to potions or mana leech.

but whenever i drink a 500 points

Super Mana Potion on my fire sorc with 2.5k orb capacity, it restores much more than 500, feels more like 1.5k, which is consistent with

Warmth and other bonuses

so I'm pretty sure mana regen bonuses do apply to potions at least, not sure about leech.

can someone confirm or deny it?

Potions can crit, so you might be observing that. The crit chance is quite high.

Energy also affects your

Mana Potion chances of critting which doubles the rate of regeneration when consumed. As you increase your Energy total, your chance to crit on Potions increases, as seen below:

For Energy values <201 that are Even:
For Energy values <201 that are Odd:
For Energy values >200:

% Chance = (Energy - 2) / 4
% Chance = (Energy - 1)2 / (Energy * 4)
% Chance = 100 * (Energy - 101) / Energy
=============

So if you have very high energy, like 400 the crit chance is 100 * 299/400, which is often.
