Enlighten and Reduced Mana
Wich one is better to use?
I want to use Herald of Ash + Hatred + Herald of Ice. Yes, I'm using Tornado Shot... But I really dont know wich gem is better. If I use Reduced Mana I have to choose only two of those auras. My Enlighten is lvl 1, I have no idea if this gem is better then Reduced Mana and I want to use all three auras. At Neversink's thread someone told me to use Enlighten instead of RM... Can anyone help me and tell me the difference between both gems? Thank you all!

Reduce mana reduce the cost of a skill like fireball
and enlighten reduce the mana reservation cost for a skill wich would make an aura cost 55 or 50 instead of 60% of mana reservation. |

" Thank you! So, Enlighten is better to use with auras. I was using Reduced Mana all time long. e.e |

You also want to level that enlighten up if you can higher levels make it more effective.
Also the higher the quality on the gem the faster it levels. |

Reduced Mana is useless for skills that reserve mana, like auras and heralds. It can be useful for mana intensive skills you use repeatedly, especially if you don't have a huge mana pool.
Enlighten also reduces the mana reserved by a skill, which makes it the only choice (apart from passives with the same effect) for auras and other skills reserving mana. It's a bitch to level, though, so you might want to buy one already levelled to at least level 2. Once you have it at level 3, consider corrupting it to get it to level 4. Bird lover of Wraeclast

Reduced Mana only works with active skills. It provides reduced mana costs of skills.
Enlighten works with everything. It provides a less mana multiplier. ign: fanimala
