I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I did a search but I couldn't find anything. All of the sudden 2 of my characters mp gages are acting wiggy. There�s a little yellow symbol to the right of them. The gage itself sometimes changes to a different color and when it does, the character stops accumulating lost MP when walking around. Then all of the sudden it goes back to normal, and back to weird again. At first I thought I had some weird status aliment going on but nothing is showing up in the menu and touching a crystal didn't help. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.

every time u add a quickening from the license board ur character gains more mp, i believe it basically doubles it from the base mp u had previously. when u fill up enough for one mist charge it turns gold, then it either begins filling up the next mist charge bar or if its full it will stop. then u can use the mp for either magicks or summoning or quickenings. no status ailments dont worry

I couldn't figure out what the heck I did. I'm still a bit confused on how all of the quickening stuff works (obviously) so I appreciate it.

no problem. quickenings can be tricky, especially when you're trying to get a good one going, so i'd suggest trying to pick up the guide if you can. but basically when u start a quickening you want to try to hit the button corresponding to the characters name that appear in white in the lower right hand corner, and hit r2 to refresh the list if they all show up gray. the more times you do that the longer your quickening chain and the more damage you will deal.

Hey Nev, welcome to the boards.
