It seems to be that this gem is rather weak when compared to the mana leech one. They both fill similar roles yet one is much better.

Agreed. 10% at level 1, lets assume it gets +1% per level ( wouldn't be surprised if it's lower ). That would put it at -30% at level 20. -30% is simply not enough to warrant wasting an entire slot. Mana leech will always win for main DPS skills, and -30% is not enough for debuffs & summons to make a difference ( not that those spells tend to be mana drain anyway ).

Either boost it significantly, level 20 should be like at least around the 65% area. I'd also like to see a straight up -flat mana cost reduction. Simply because it would open up alternative builds to mana leech. If there was a spell which was cast super fast with low mana cost but high mana drain per / time, then such a gem would be good & interesting.

Edit:

I get it now... Instead of for example, 150% increased cost, it is 90%, which means it decreases mana costs by 10%.

Okay, just to clear up some confusion:

Mana cost mutlipliers: Are what support gems have (and you guys can see them now). These apply to both flat and percentage costs.
This gem seems to be for supporting auras and curses really and Mana leech is for damage skills.
IGN: Guillotine - Shadow - Open Beta
Bawss - 73 Witch - Closed Beta

how would this support stack with the passives? and based on link and in game comments, the support works on auras. so need to know how exactly passives and support stacks. additively or multicatively?
