Mana is a resource that is consumed when certain types of spells are cast in the Ultima universe.

Description

Not much time was ever lost on explaining mana and its nature. In essence, mana is the magical strength of the mage to harness the power of the ethereal waves in order to call forth the various effects of magical spells. The strength in question does come from the mage himself and not from the ether. Each spell requires a certain amount of said strength, as shown in mana cost, in order to invoke the spell. Mana does regenerate naturally over time, as it comes from the mage, and thus is like regained stamina.
