Becouse we exploited it.

When we where oom did we just cast rank1 bolts until it procced.. Blizzard didn't know how to fix this so they made it like this instead so you can't cast a LB at 100mana.

There you go.

Q u o t e:
back on topic the real reason why it was nerfed

Q u o t e:
It's not all that different from the Paladin Illumination change. It's basically taking a "free" spell and having an actual cost in mana for it. Over time, the zero mana cost for spells can alter the total number of spells cast in a given amount of time. The devs felt that this was to large at one hundred percent, under current conditions, so they hemmed it in.
