<id1022302#>Furthermore, it is worth remembering that an ability's MP cost is only deducted when the ability is performed. This means a unit may begin preparing an ability even with insufficient MP, but you must remember to restore its MP before the Readying status ends or the ability will fail.<2N>If your desired ability takes longer than expected to perform, you will likely miss the ideal moment to use it, possibly wasting that unit's turn in the process. Ensure this does not happen by checking the ability's cast speed, and confirming when it will be performed using the Combat Timeline.<#>
