So looking explicitly at mana:
-less TA works wonders, since that’s 8% mana each time. Can cast literally just to refill when out of other options
-you could be casting significantly more empowered spells. Fire breath in particular is 10 in 8 minutes, out of a possible 16. Doesn’t seem like a ton numerically, but when you add in that it’s 6-7 LF each time (from both the 2 set, and then again from leaping flames), you’re missing out on a ton of possible blossom procs. Similarly for dream breath/spiritbloom, sans the leaping flames part
-in 8 minutes, you used 2x EC and 1x mana pot. If this pull was just a one-off, then it’s w/e, but fitting in another EC and a second mana pot is a big difference
