Mind over Matter - Less Recovery Rate but affect Regeneration instead

i have been testing Mind over Matter, simply with Flask.

50% less Mama Recovery Rate should slow the 3sec regen over time from the flask.
3sec*(1.5)=4.5sec
Instead my mana potion is still regen over 3 sec but with HALF the Mana.
You can look at your character sheet and see number and time it very easily.

I don't know if it is a bug or a Text error.

Modifiers to recovery rate will in general affect the amount of recovery per second. Where not specified, this will affect all sources of recovery. Mind over Matter is intended to halve the total recovery of mana per second as a downside. It does not affect the duration of any form of recovery, but the amount per second recovered over its existing duration (if it has one).


Life and mana flasks have a fixed amount of recovery available from the flask. A local recovery rate modifier on the flask will be represented by modifying the duration to achieve the increased or reduced recovery rate, while maintaining the same overall amount recovered. In that sense, they are represented differently to achieve their specific purpose. The total amount recovered can also be increased through adding quality to the flask.

There are also items and passives that refer specifically to flask recovery rate.

The wiki entries for POE1 go into greater detail when discussing flask recovery and recovery rate. The latter expresses that "recovery rate" was meant to modify the "amount recovered per second" in the general context.
