MANA
Mana is a character's capability of casting
spells, represented by a numeric
value. High mana means your
character is high on magical power, and low means the
opposite.
By default, your current level of mana is displayed in
your prompt. If nothing is shown, it means your
spellcasting capacity is full. Otherwise, one of the
following words is displayed (in descending order): Burning
,
Hot
, Warm
, Cold
, Icy
, or
Frozen
.
Mana will regenerate at different rates depending on how much you have. That is
to say, it will take a lot longer to regenerate the same
amount of mana if you are at Icy
rather than if you were at
Hot
. Mana regeneration is faster if you
are resting or sleeping.
The word "mana" is popular in gaming, ultimately deriving from Polynesian languages via Larry Niven's short story "Not Long Before the End".
