Kitava's Thirst - Trigger bug

Found an issue with Kitava's Thirst triggers. Not always all the spells trigger, there are cases where only one triggers (can consistently reproduce it).

Apparently you need at least 100 (or the main spell cost maybe?) unreserverd mana FOR EACH of the spells to trigger.

I was able to reproduce it reserving mana with the following skills socketed in Kitava's thirst:

1) Spark
2) Ball lightning
3) Ark
4) Greater Multiple Projectiles

On the chest, I have a Crackling Lance with 132 mana cost (6 linked)

IF I have 150ish unreserved mana, only spark will trigger

IF I have 300ish unreserved mana, spark and ball lightning trigger

WITH 780 unreserved mana everything triggers as expected.

You need enough mana for the triggered spell. In the case you don't have enough mana for the spell then the trigger still goes off but nothing will be cast and you'll need to build up 100 mana again.
But that doesn't make sense, the item specifically says:

"
50% chance to Trigger Socketed Spells when you Spend at least 100 Mana to Use a Skill


So if I spend 100 mana, there's a 50% chance to trigger "ALL" spells (not only some of them due to some unspecified reasons)

The wiki states:

"
Each time you use a skill with a mana cost of 100 or higher, there is a 50% chance all socketed spells will trigger. Typically only one spell can be triggered at a time, which makes this item more unique.


So if I have 100 unreserved mana, and spend them all to cast a spell, and the 50% roll is positive, all should trigger.

The skill costs in my case 132 mana, and if only spark triggers or all trigger, the mana spent is still 132.

Incorrect.

If you have 100 unreserved mana and spend all 100 then nothing will trigger because the spells that would trigger also have a mana cost that needs to be paid. Because you cannot pay this cost (you used all your mana) the skills will not trigger at all.
Thanks for the clarification, I assumed wrongly that triggered spells were free.

This bug report can be closed then.
