Attacking costs MP, Buffing costs MP, transforming costs MP, moving around costs MP. When you have no MP, what can you do? You literally can't even attack at this point. So when EVERYTHING IN THE GAME needs MP, why does MP even exist? It's always going to be full, if it gets low, it'll be topped off until it is full, and if you have 0 then for all intents and purposes you're Sealed. You could go up and whack an enemy for pitiful damage, or you would try to instantly replenish it with a potion, or you die... whichever's the more convenient and available option. Is there a way to manage MP in a way that you won't have 0? No because every action you do requires it. So "managing" a resource that's required to do anything that's easily replenished that can only be a problem when a boss specifically bones you and there's a potion cooldown is just a hindrance. An inconvenient barrier.
MP is only a problem for me at bosses with pot cool downs or at dojo and only happens because as a bowmaster I'm constantly running 2 mp draining attacks. I guess that hindrance can be remedied with an evan card, but yes relying on mp for literally everything sucks hard
