MIU

I'm just curious what the formula for activating spells, as a warrior, from an item are. Any input would be helpful...for the most part anyways.

Thanks!

MIU duration formula:
base duration + (MIU ranks * (half normal duration for spell ranks known))

When using the TAP command to activate a magic item, MIU ranks are halved.
When using the RUB & WAVE commands, use the normal MIU ranks.
When using the RAISE command, MIU ranks are 133% normal.

Example:

The spell Thurfel's Ward (503) spell duration formula is 1200 seconds +60 seconds for every Major Elemental spell known. Your character has 50 MIU ranks. What is the spell duration for the activation commands?

TAP: 1200 + (25 * 30) = 1950 seconds
RUB & WAVE: 1200 + (50 * 30) = 2700 seconds
RAISE: 1200 + (66 * 30) = 3180 seconds

Wow I always thought you just had to have the same amount in MIU as the position on the spell list the spell is.
eg.
917 = 17 ranks MIU to activate.

I have no idea how I made it as a magic user lol.

Krakiipedia has a really good explanation of how MIU use works:

Wow I always thought...
Um... Fallen didn't actually answer the question, at all really (he addressed the "additonal info"), so he didn't address how many ranks you need for what level spells

That's a good rule of thumb, but there is a big weight on "have learned" "can learn" "same sphere of influence" "otherspherely spell" for AS at least (not sure about MIU, I'm not answering the question at all either).
