## Armor Mechanics

### Mana Pool
Each armor piece contributes to your maximum mana pool. The combined bonuses from all 4 pieces of a set provide a significant mana pool boost.

### Mana Regeneration
Mana regeneration bonuses increase the rate at which your mana regenerates over time. Higher-tier sets provide greater regeneration.

### Cast Time Reduction
The Hat piece of each set (except Apprentice) reduces your cast time multiplier. Combined with set bonuses, wearing a full set further reduces cast time.

### Affinities
The Enchanter and Archmage sets provide small bonuses to all elemental affinities, making them effective for hybrid builds.

### Engravings
Higher-tier armor pieces support engravings, allowing you to further customize your gear with modifiers. The Archmage set supports the most engravings (up to 2 on head and chest pieces).
