I have wondered for ages whether the Priest of Tahman miracle `Transfer Mana'
could give spell points to an arcanist.  Well, I finally had a free action
and had the relevant people in the same place and tried it.  Sure enough
some spell points went across.

The is good if you have a a strong church of Tahman.  By praying and transfering
you can use your priests of Tahman as rechargers for your arcanists (given
the extreme cost of transfer mana).

I did notice some other interesting things.  The rule book says that you have
to cast MAR+5points of mana per point transfered.  I had an MAR of 9 and cast
at 16.  I should have got 1 point.  Instead I got four.  This looks as if I
got atransfer mana operating much nearer the old rate of MAR+2points per
point transfered.

Also, my recovery took the Arcanist to full power but the transfered mana
still went in.  This took me to 4 points over my arcane skill rating which
I thought was not possible via this route.  This is all with Rahn Games UK.
What is other people's experience, have I found a bug?
