* Syntax: <code>trance</code>
* Casting message: <code>You enter a peaceful trance, collecting mana from the cosmos.</code>
* Success message: <code>In your peaceful trance, you collect mana from the cosmos.</code>
* Failure message: <code>You spend several minutes in a deep trance, but fail to collect any mana.</code>

Trance places your character in a trance-like state
during which mana can be rapidly regenerated. Once
you being trancing you cannot engage in other
activities (or type other commands) or you will break
the trance state. While in the trance you will
see your mana regenerate every few seconds until you
are at your maximum. The use of incense while in
trance or meditation is known to improve results.
Trancing regenerates mana more rapidly than meditation.

== Information ==

When you use the trance skill, you start trancing, during which you regenerate 52 [[mana]] every few seconds. You will stop trancing if you enter almost any commands, enter a fight, follow someone into another room or reach your maximum [[mana]].
