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%. (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. Generally, your actual chance for failure will increase by a number less than 10%.

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.
