Deli asks - Which will give me more mana when I level, Int or Wis?

I throw this question to the experts.

I think wisdom since Deli's a druid. For elves and illithids I think it's int.

Short answer: wis, but int will also affect it. Long answer (so I don't have to post replies to more mana gain questions) below.

Courtesy of Scavenger, who looked through the leveling code a while back for me:
Unlike con, where you get a straight bonus to your hps for having it high, raising your wis and int only raises the high end of a spectrum. Both affect this spectrum, no matter what race you are - they affect equally to all the fighting races, otherwise what xorex said is right (wis affects more for druids, int for elves/illthids). What the code does is tallies up where your current stats are, then creates a range (this spectrum) based on those stats that contains all the possible amounts you can get at level. Once the range/spectrum thing is determined, the game picks a random number between the high and the low, and that's how much mana you get.
