Also drops from a siren enticer. Got it to drop today after wiping all the siren mobs once.
An elder holgresh. In the Holgresh caves a veritable swarm of these beasties lurk so just went killing away.. It eventually dropped off the elder, plus a mojo stick

So many complaining about what a lousy spell this is. Do the maths! Mana cost = 5, mana gained (max) = 120. That's a return of 600 times! Sure 120 mana is not alot, but how often were you JUST short of enough mana to do that last root or dot to finish things?
To Magikton - your maths may be right but your logic isn't. Mana Sieve is decrease mana ONLY. You get none of that mana - at least with this spell you get some increase to your mana. Also MS costs 150 mana to cast. They are different types of spells.

Speaking of doing your math, perhaps you should recheck that...last I knew, 120/5 came out to 24, not 600. /chuckle
But, as stated, this not only rips mana from your target, but also gives it to you, as well, whereas the instant-cast Mana Sieve line (I know, spell name doesn't really fit, as sieving would be the process of taking something from one container and putting it into another) just tears MP out of a MOb, leaving them with less to work with. And, as was also mentioned, just as the Necromancer's various lines of recoursing spells, you get the full benefit of the recourse, whether the MOb outlives the spell, or your group tears it to ribbons in less than thirty seconds.
EDIT: Oh, and for those concerned and unaware, yes, this does stack with the Mental Regeneration (Breeze, Clarity I & II, Koadic's Endless Intellect, etc.) line of buffs...*very useful* indeed. /nod

Does this spell stack with the ENC C3 - C5 line ?

I don't know what you guys are talking about, this being a bad spell. In my opinion, this spell is insanely useful... it's like if clarity stacked with kei. Well, for 2 minutes anyway. I still find it a great way to recharge mana on ldons and other places with a lot of caster mobs.

Recast time kills this spell, 2:30 seconds...

which is only 30 sec after the mana regen drops.
It is ready for me the next time my groups pull another caster to drain.
it takes a really bad pull to get me to lose enough mana to not be able to control a really bad pull (or any kind of pull) using this

Think of it this way .. FT6 for 2 min .. even at 65 I was using this till i finished my LoY version which is the same thing only much better.
Also .. even if you kill the mob in 2 seconds .. you still reap the benifits of this spell till it fades ..
As for PvP .. I have used this in duels with casters,
1. start with Mez on his pet (if they have one)
2. Tash him
3. Mez him
4. Curse of the simple mind (lost INT - lost mana)
5. Wandering Mind (Will not break Mez)
6. then kill him

Does anyone else think this spell isn't very good? Even if it lasts for the whole duration, that is only a total of 120 mana at around lvl 39+ to mobs, which isn't a whole lot. Even more so, if you subtract the one mana/tick for a non-buffed PC (not sure on mob mana regen, may be even more than that), that is only 100 mana lost, over a course of a whole 2 minutes! That is just horrible compared to Mana Sieve 5 levels before, causing 214 mana loss at only lvl 34! Plus it is instant, you don't have to wait 2 minutes for the enemy to lose that pathetic amount of mana. I won't even go into PvP uselessness...
P.S. I hope my math is right, bear with me if I am horribly incorrect =)

Well, with this spell you get the mana that the mob looses. So it's not excelent but it isn't bad. You get the full benefit of the drain even if the mob dies before the dot fades. Whenever I'm low on mana in DL I just run to a nearby ruins camp and syphon mana off of the drachnids that groups are pulling. It sure beats medding!

Where do you get this? What mob drops it, or what zone does it drop in? Please someone post up some information on what to do to get this spell!
This spell only drops off of mobs. The most common place to find this spell is off of random guardians in skyshrine near the portal. Hope this helps. Also check EQ Casters Realm for more info.
Oh and it also drops in the Wakening Lands.
