Enlighten not working

Hi,
I'm using 2 enlighten in my build, but one of them doesn't seem's to work.
I've got them linked to my aura, and only the highter one seem's to work while the other one does absolutly nothing. Can't figure out what's wrong. If any one could help me there, that would be very nice :D

I believe the game rounds unfavourably (technically, it always rounds down, but I can never remember which number is rounded, which is why I'm not 100% sure about it)

As an example, if we assume you have 60% reduced reservation from Alpha's Howl, passive tree, etc.:

Before: 20.0% reserved -> 80.0% mana remains
After: 20.0% × 96% Enlighten = 19.2% reserved -> 80.8% mama remains -> rounds to 80.0% mana remains

Obviously your situation is rather different, but it is almost certainly a rounding issue

Mana Multipliers apply to the base Reservation value.
50 * 0.96 = 48% base Reserved
This value is then multiplied by your total Reduction (let's say it's 45% Reduced):
48 * 0.45 = 21.6, rounds to 21
48 - 21 = 27% Reserved

Due to rounding, it's very easy for a level 2 Enlighten to have no effect, especially if you also have Blood Magic. It's a tiny multiplier, on a tiny value.

This calculator can be handy for working out what mana you'll end up with. Just plug your stats in, arrange the groups and go

How does the increased experience work with an aura, totem, etc. If I use enlightened to support ancestral protector, will it add extra to my experience every time the totem kills?

If you're talking about quality on enlighten, the gem expereince is the only thing affected. It levels faster. Has no affect on you.

It has been a long time since Enlighten granted bonus experience.

In the current version of the game, no gem grants bonus experience to other gems. Quality on the nasals (Enl, Enh, Emp) only grants bonus experience to itself, the support gem (i.e. Enl, Enh, Emp gain the increased experience).

Enlighten is now used for its sub-100% mana multiplier, which is the only way to use gems to reduce mana or life reservation.

Oh. I did not know that. Bummer. I thought that it provided an xp bonus. :(
