This is a need to know for my wife. I told her to hold off on
investing in spirit gems and reforges until we can find out something
like this.

However whereas a reforge cannot go to int and can only go to spirit
if the item does not already have spirit I guess one can invest in int
gems and reforges to spirit.

Well at least that is a start. Now we just have to find out if the
investment in mana pool for replenishment is linear/non-linear and/or
capped/non-capped investment.

Maybe a upgraded astrolab will solve the riddle.
