Clear Mind and Resting - What's in the box? - 07-18-2015
If a character is resting- like for the 8 hours it takes to recharge MP/etc.- would you also be gaining the benefits of Clear Mind?
Is clear mind an active ability? Like I am purposefully meditating and gain a benefit?
or could it be passive also? Like I am taking a nap for two hours and wake up with more MP a la tiny rest period?

Clear Mind is passive, and accumulates for every hour of non-stressful activity you perform. This can be done while traveling, as long as you aren't sprinting the entire way or something... and this doesn't require concentration, unless what is depriving you of it is creating a stressful situation.
As it is now, Clear Mind functions while sleeping, so for 8 hours you regain MP equal to your level, and then your casting mod * 8. Since Vil removed the 'MP refills entirely with sleep' rule, this is kind of a necessity since at late game you could still wake up missing MP if the last day was full of fights.
