Month of the Wand is supposed to give +2 mana to characters that start neutrally aligned. However, using point buy reveals that this bonus is not given. For example, a mist elf wizard that doesn't make any adjustments to point buy has 22 total mana without any bonus from starsign, starts neutrally aligned (N+), but does not receive the +2 bonus, thus starting at 22 instead of 24.
