<blockquote><hr>
The Mana Cost of each special move can be reduced if the warrior's skills are high enough. Add up the skill points for Swords, Mace Fighting, Fencing, Archery, Parrying, Lumberjacking, Stealth, Poisoning, Bushido and Ninjitsu. If the total lies between 200 and 299, subtract 5 from the Mana Cost. If the total is 300 or more, subtract 10 from the Mana Cost.
Some items have a property called "reduced mana cost". These items also reduce the Mana Cost of these Special Moves.
If a special move is attempted performed within 3 seconds after another special move, the mana cost of that move will be doubled.

Infectious Strike.....
The Poisoning skill will give a (Poisoning Skill)% chance to increase the level of poison delivered by 1. The blade must have poison applied to it. The power of the poison depends on the type of poison used and your poisoning skill.
With Poisoning skill 0.0 - 19.9 you can inflict Level 1 (with a chance of level 0)
With Poisoning skill 20.0 - 39.9 you can inflict level 2 (with a chance of level 3)
With Poisoning skill 40.0 - 59.9 you can inflict level 3 (with a chance of level 4)
With Poisoning skill 60.0 - 100.0 you can inflict level 4 (with a chance of level 5)
Tactics are not required for the special move Infectious Strike. Poisoning is required to perform infectious strike.
As far as I know that information is still accurate on reduced mana for special moves too. Its kinda nice as a stealth assassin, I get that special move for 5 mana.
