I'm using Yanfly's Skill Cost Manager http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/gameplay-scripts/skill-cost-manager/
Although these strings should just use the general logic of RGSS3 and so even if you don't know that script you might know how to help.
I make it so the skill requirement string was
mp >= 75
Which worked, as when the user's MP was 50, they couldn't use the spell,
but then I tried for the skill cost requirement string
custom cost perform
100 mp
/custom cost perform
and
custom cost perform
mp == 100
/custom cost perform
and etc but it didn't cost a think when used.
Not when MP was less than 100, equal to 100, or greater than 100.

If a spell requires 20 MP and you only have 19 MP, the spell will still be used, but, of course, your MP will drop to zero. If the user has 75% (for my game, but perhaps any set number in the script) of the MP that a spell costs, then the spell will be used and their MP will be depleted, or however you like to think it.
This feature is useful in other games where a 1 MP difference or so can get very frustrating.
For my game, an undercost is good to deepen gameplay because when MP is zero, the caster gets a Mortal state, where they take 100% critical hits aka their Magic Protection is no longer there to protect them from mortal blows so not only is their life force damaged from attacks but they have chances to say receive burns, get frozen, poisoned, or bleed. The critical evasion rate is, of course, raised by guarding and armor. So you have to determine if the spell is really needed. But without the undercost script, you're hardly ever going to see MP actually drop to "zero-zero" just because you need exact numbers.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
