Regarding the imps, I will continue to investigate, but I have a feeling that the formulas simply won't work for my size.

The mana drain formula is complex and unexpectedly includes values from mana steal
1000 imps drain 125 mana
but when setting to 1 instead of 4, the mana drain decreases to 63.... this is strange, the value was reduced by 4, but the result decreased by 2
So, I conducted personal tests regarding this issue. What I can say for sure is that in the formula, values of 1 simply do not work. The minimum available is 1 unit of mana for 16 imps (increase).
And regarding the reduction of the value by 4, everything is correct because the initial formula has the form of 4 mana per increase (16 imps). We get 4/16 = 0.25 per imp. We substitute the value of 1 in and get 1/16 = 0.0625 per imp. Therefore, according to your test, it is clear that 1000 imps burn 1000*0.0625 = 63 mana, rounded up.
Regarding 0.5, I believe that this value is multiplied by the formula above, so for imps, we get a multiple drain equal to half the drain of imps/devils. For example, taking 1000 imps, they would drain 63*0.5 = 32 mana per application. I think this is a more logical application of this line. I will not check it myself, as it is no longer relevant.
Thank you for your help with this issue; it's a pity that the game does not process values <1 in this specific situation. 😃
