To be clear, there is no difference between a VAR, a LOCAL, or CTAG, or a TAG when it comes to resources like memory etc.

Here is an alternate version of your @Start trigger that checks a CTAG (Character TAG) to decide if enough time has passed instead of creating a new memory object with a ticking timer (which does consume quite a bit of resources unnecesarily.) I also fixed some other issues:

* use two == in an IF statement, not just one = sign... in your case, just combine the greater than and the equals into one conditional test
* put the successful result (the addition of extra mana) in the @Success trigger instead instantly granting it when the skill is first attempted


Alternatively, instead of forcing it like this, you could instead temporarily alter the player's RATE of Mana regeneration (by adding/increasing TAG.OVERRIDE.REGEN_1 to them) or the AMOUNT of Mana regenerated (by adding/increasing TAG.OVERRIDE.REGENVAL_1 to them).
