Evan asked this question on the national forums:
"Has there been, at any time, a vote/decision to modify HM limitations on skills like Cloak/Bane/Magic Aug/Elemental Aug to "at a time" instead of "per 5 days," allowing players with reserve HM points to re-purchase expended HM at the next logistics period?"
Contrary to what I had been told in the past (and what I ruled for Seattle some time ago), there has never been any official clarification or change released stating this. I was wrong . Moving forward, Seattle will stick with the established written policy for High Magic in that for any 5-day period High Magic with specific limitations (cloak/bane mostly) used slots cannot be "refilled" even if you have spare HM points.
Very sorry for the confusion!
