Drain removes it from the enemy but does not give any of it to you.

So I'm not sure if it is really "drain" think final fantasy drain spells (if that was what you intended it only does half the effect) even Warcraft describes it as "

Definition

Drains do exist in two forms: Mana Drains and Life Drains. The definitions of those two normally slightly differ. Common understanding is:

  • Mana Drains are abilities, which remove mana from the enemy's mana pool. They normally have a secondary effect.
  • Life Drains are abilities, which transfer life from the enemy and add it to one's own.

Currently, almost all of these spells are Shadow spells."

However yours only does the first part "remove life from the enemy" but does not add it to yours.

I tried it and it drains stamina properly. That said, it doesn't drain the full amount of damage inflicted, only a fraction. Otherwise it would be too powerful

If it's not working for you, can you tell me step-by-step what you're doing, and I'll investigate

Do the bosses at least have a fixed MP gauge? Since it seems to me they don't

They don't. Decided against tracking something like that

you said it would be too powerful.  I take (in some cases) 8 hp damage at a time if the spell only recovers 3 then that's not overly helpful as a restorative option. Also I notice that the NPC doesn't seem to have a limit on their MP (I could be wrong) but it seemed they were able to use them constantly without pause.  Final Fantasy 2 (US or FF4 Japan) made a great point of showing bosses had a MP limit (Fight Asura) cast wall on her and she'll keep using cure 4 until she runs out of MP

It's definitely not meant to replace restoration options. And yeah enemies don't use MP. It's just the player that does

oh, I think I see. At lower levels, it probably doesn't do enough damage to drain any stamina. I can change it to drain at least minimal 1.

at what point is it considered lower levels? I have like level 15 minimum you could have a side story type thing where you talk to rinny and complain that the spells too weak and have her give you task to upgrade it...lol

hmm, 15 Mystic should definitely be getting you more than 1 sta per shot. Specifically, it should be 25% of the inflicted damage.
