The Energy ego occasionally refunds MP when casting spells. It can only be found on orbs.
When successfully casting a spell, this ego gives a 20% chance to have the full MP cost refunded. When you miscast a spell, you will always have MP refunded. However, it increases your raw spell failure chance by +10%, added. (For reference, the first stack of wizardry reduces raw spell failure by x75%.)
Note that this does not mean that your spell failure actually increases by +10%, as its modified by a function. See the Spell Success page for details. For example:
- If you have a spell with 6% failure, an orb of energy increases it to 17% actual failure.
- If you have a spell with 2% failure, an orb of energy increases it to 8% actual failure.
- For spells with 1% failure, it varies. A 1% failure might increase to 9% or 2% actual failure, depending on how much skill you have

History
- Prior to 0.30, channeling was different, You had a
2 * Evocations / 108chance to regain MP on any cast. Each time this happens, the channel could "backfire" - you have a1 / (Evocations - MP cost)chance of either being confused for1 + 1d4turns or losing 1-5 intelligence. It did not increase failure rate. - This ego was introduced, along with orbs, in 0.28.
