[BUG] Magicka Controller (Mages Guild Passive)

Greetings!

I was doing some theory crafting today and I found a bug with the Mages Guild Passive "Magicka Controller". The tooltip for this passive says "Increases your Max Magicka and your Magicka Regeneration by 2% for each Mages Guild ability slotted". I decided to test this out so that I could maximize my Sorc's DPS. When I tested it I learned that my magicka was not increasing at all. The number was remaining the same every time I added a Mages Guild ability. I then looked at my magicka regeneration and the numbers were off. It was going up a little bit, but not 2% per slotted ability and then at one point it began to go backwards. (See Test #1)

I then thought to myself that some of the add-ons could be causing my numbers to be incorrect. I went and disabled every add-on, logged out and back in and gave the test another try. Once again, my magicka was not increasing at all. My magicka regeneration numbers were moving up, but in incorrect amounts. (See Test #2)

I then totally quit out of the game and ran a REPAIR twice to make sure everything was good. Finished that and logged back in. Everything was the same, just with extra magicka from PVP buffs. (See Test #3)

So the main problems here are magicka is not increasing at all and the magicka regeneration is increasing but not in 2% increments. I have posted all 3 of my tests below. I have also posted what the numbers should look like if they were working according to what the tool tips say.

Here are the numbers from all of my tests.

Test #1
First set of tests with add-ons on:
With no Mages Guild abilities slotted:
Magicka: 22769
Magicka Recovery: 900

With 1 Mages Guild ability slotted (Entropy):
Magicka: 22769
Magicka Recovery: 910

With 2 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy and Inner Light):
Magicka: 22769
Magicka Recovery: 922

With 3 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light and Ice Comet):
Magicka: 22769
Magicka Recovery: 900

With 4 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light, Ice Comet and Equilibrium):
Magicka: 22769
Magicka Recovery: 900

Test #2
Second set of tests after disabling all add-ons and logging off and back on:
With no Mages Guild abilities slotted:
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 871

With 1 Mages Guild ability slotted (Entropy):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 883

With 2 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy and Inner Light):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 894

With 3 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light and Ice Comet):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 905

With 4 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light, Ice Comet and Equilibrium):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 917

Test #3
Third set of tests after quitting the game, running the REPAIR function twice and then logging back in with all add-ons off:
With no Mages Guild abilities slotted:
Magicka: 23554
Magicka Recovery: 871

With 1 Mages Guild ability slotted (Entropy):
Magicka: 23554
Magicka Recovery: 883

With 2 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy and Inner Light):
Magicka: 23554
Magicka Recovery: 894

With 3 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light and Ice Comet):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 905

With 4 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light, Ice Comet and Equilibrium):
Magicka: 23162
Magicka Recovery: 917


If this was working the way the tooltips say it should work, the numbers should look like this:
With no Mages Guild abilities slotted:
Magicka: 23554
Magicka Recovery: 871

With 1 Mages Guild ability slotted (Entropy):
Magicka: 24025
Magicka Recovery: 888

With 2 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy and Inner Light):
Magicka: 24496
Magicka Recovery: 906

With 3 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light and Ice Comet):
Magicka: 24967
Magicka Recovery: 923

With 4 Mages Guild abilities slotted (Entropy, Inner Light, Ice Comet and Equilibrium):
Magicka: 25438
Magicka Recovery: 941

Can someone help me with this issue please?

Thanks!
