Every race has a racial spell cost modifer associated with it. There are three kinds of spells, arcane (mage/wzd/sor type), divine (cleric type) and psionic.

A negative modifier means the spell cost is lower.

Effective Mana

Note that the following shows the spell cost modifier. We can define the effective mana as the mana a human would need to cast the same amount as a particular race. If x is the racial spellcost modifier (in percentage), then the effective mana is 100 / (100 - x).

For example, a 25% spellcost reduction for sprite translates into 33% more effective mana.

Effective mana is the more directly useful notion, since finally, that's what determines how much you can cast.
