[edit] General Information
Intelligence, or INT, is pretty self-explanatory; the representation of a character's capacity to learn new ideas and think quickly.
[edit] Effects
[edit] Mana
The formula that dictates a character's mana will take their level and either their intelligence or Wisdom into account, depending on their class. The classes that use intelligence for mana (known colloquially as intelligence casters) are Enchanters, Magicians, Necromancers, Wizards, and Shadow Knights.
[edit] Skills
Many skills will raise faster if a character has higher intelligence, or wisdom; the game chooses the higher one for such skills. This is the case for all skills except melee skills; such as Offense and Defense, weapon skills like Hand to Hand and 1H Blunt, and special attack skills such as Kick and Tiger Claw; for all these skills, Dexterity is the stat used. Most notably, intelligence and wisdom are used for tradeskills.
[edit] Heroic Intelligence
As with all the other primary stats, intelligence is affected by the heroic stat mechanic that was introduced with Secrets of Faydwer. Heroic Intelligence, specifically, further increases a character's mana pool, mana regeneration, and mana regeneration cap. These effects are only granted to Intelligence casters.
