Downgrade magic level?

[Michael Orsino]

Is there a function to downgrade magic level?

doPlayerAddExp(cid, -100)

something along the lines of

DoPlayerAddMlvl(cid, -5)

or perhaps a way to do it?
getPlayerSpentMana(cid)
doPlayerAddSpentMana(cid, amount)
getPlayerRequiredMana(cid, magicLevel)

-----

Failing that, I would have the script kick the player and then execute some sql to change the magic level, however I have a feeling that this would screw up because as soon as the player is kicked the script wont be able to get the player name, right? Or will the script retain the player name?

Worded badly, apologies.
Thanks for any insight!

function doPlayerAddMagLevel(cid, add) 
local current = getPlayerRequiredMana(cid, getPlayerMagLevel(cid)) 
local manaspend = ((getPlayerRequiredMana(cid, getPlayerMagLevel(cid)+add)) / getConfigInfo("rateMagic")) 
    if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then 
        doPlayerAddSpentMana(cid, (current + manaspend)) 
    else 
        error("Player not found in function doPlayerAddMagLevel") 
    end 
end

Somehow I doubt this will work for negatives. Unsure.
Anyone know?
