So a normally 4 stacked AB with arcane power up costs 6177 mana instead of 6090 according to my tooltip and tests done on a dummy.

However, once you add in the 4p, that base 87 mana increase is REMOVED and then the final cost of arcane blast is reduced by 10%. So at a 4 stack AB costing 6090 Mana, the t12 4set makes it only cost 5400 while arcane power is active.
