It seems that Basic Set Third Edition,
First Printing had "Anyone can cast spell, if he knows them. Mages can do so at
no energy cost!" as well as the errata correct it with "In a very-high-mana area, the energy a mage used is renewed every second, but there
is an energy cost; a mage cannot cast a spell for which he does not have energy."
All subsequent printings of the Basic Set Third Edition had the correct definition for Very High Mana. In 4e this old version of Very High Mana is Wild Mana
Classic: Celtic Myth had its own version of Wild mana which allowed one to "cast any spell in only one second, and using only 1 energy point, whatever the normal point cost for that spell." (pg 80)
