Restoration Staff - Heavy Attack?

RobbieRocket

What constitutes a "heavy attack" and therefore gives 15% Magicka back if you have the Cycle of Life skill?

Reverb

Press and hold the attack button, emitting a continuous beam, until the animation stops.

Okay, so, finishing a regular attack (as opposed to just stabbing at the button)?

Thanks.

tapping the button/trigger is a light attack. Holding it down is a heavy attack. To get the magicka return, you have to hold it down until the animation finishes.
