This is a particularly nice tip. Any abilities that decrease spell cost don't affect Illumination. I was noticing on Kalecgos last night that when I got the -50% spell cost debuff, I would pop Divine Illumination and Divine Favor, and chain cast Max Rank HL and see my mana go up rather than down (due to a high crit rate). Definitely a useful trick, although without a high crit rate you might find yourself going down rather than up - HL11 is pretty inefficient.
