-For characters without such brutish tendencies, MP regeneration is quite useful, even with a minor Int penalty. Just be sure not to hit an enemy! Mages can [[inscription|inscribe]] their wielded item with <code>!a</code> in order to force a confirmation whenever you attack. Hybrids finding these gloves could dedicate to one way or the other, or simply not touch them.

 ==History==
-*In [[0.30]], the Mad Mage's Maulers will have VampMP (100%; 1/8th damage to MP) and -Cast instead of RegenMP and -3 Intelligence. In addition, they will boost damage by 4*MP, like regular infusion.
+*Prior to [[0.30]], the Mad Mage's Maulers provided [[Amulet of magic regeneration|RegenMP]]+ and -3 Int instead of VampMP and -Cast. In addition, it only boosted damage by 2*MP.
 *The Mad Mage's Maulers were added in [[0.28]].
