Mana: How it works

Welcome to the guide on the Mana system in AdvancedSkills! This article will explain what mana is, how to collect it, and how to use it.

What is Mana?

Mana is a magical energy that fuels your special abilities, known as talents. Think of it as a mystical resource that you can accumulate and spend to perform extraordinary feats.

How to Collect Mana

Collecting mana is tied to your skill progression. Here's how it works:

1. Skill Activities: As you perform actions related to your skills, you have a chance to gain mana.

2. Mana Drops: When you're lucky, you'll see mana appear as a glowing item. It looks like this:

   • Named "✨ Mana" with the amount you've gained

3. Collecting: To collect mana, simply walk over the dropped item.

Mana and Skills

• Different skills may have different chances to grant mana.

• Higher skill levels often increase your chances of gaining mana.

• Some skills might provide more mana than others, rewarding specialization.

Using Mana

The primary use of mana is to activate talents. Here's how it works:

1. Talents: These are special abilities tied to your skills.

2. Mana Cost: Each talent has a mana cost to activate.

3. Activation: When you use a talent, it consumes the required amount of mana.

4. Insufficient Mana: If you don't have enough mana, you won't be able to activate the talent.

Checking Your Mana

You can check your current mana amount using the skills menu. Use the command:

/mana

Or it may be even faster to see your mana using SHIFT+F keys in the Talents menu!

Tips for Mana Management

1. Balance: Try to balance mana collection with usage. Don't hoard it, but also don't spend it all at once.

2. Skill Focus: If you need more mana, focus on skills that have a higher chance of granting it.

3. Efficient Use: Use your talents wisely. Consider the mana cost versus the benefit of activating a talent.

4. Mana Regeneration: Your mana doesn't regenerate automatically. You need to actively collect more through skill activities.

Remember, mana is a valuable resource that allows you to unleash powerful abilities. Use it wisely, and it will greatly enhance your gameplay experience!
