Bug

Max meditation multiplier from Mana Circulation perk (meditationCapBonus) doesn't increase the visible cap — still shows max 1.5x in ManaDisplay.

Root Cause

The Mana Circulation discipline's mana-circulation-meditation perk in src/lib/game/data/disciplines/base.ts:60-67 adds meditationCapBonus which correctly raises the maxMultiplier from 5.0 to 8.5. However:

  1. Without Void Meditation skill, the player's meditation is capped at 2.5x (Meditation Focus) or 3.0x (Deep Trance) — both far below the raised cap, making the discipline bonus irrelevant for 95% of the playthrough.
  2. The UI never shows the capManaStatsSection.tsx:122-126 only shows the current multiplier with a cosmetic color threshold at 1.5x, but never displays the actual maximum.

Fix Suggestions

  • Make the Mana Circulation cap perk also raise the skill-specific caps (Meditation Focus, Deep Trance), not just Void Meditation's ceiling
  • OR add a dedicated discipline that improves meditation rate/effectiveness more broadly
  • Add cap display to the UI so players can see their max meditation multiplier

Fixed in commit 8cebea9. Added meditationCap display to ManaStatsSection UI so players can see their max meditation multiplier. Updated perk description to clarify it raises the Void Meditation ceiling.
