Perhaps one of the most mysterious energies. The Mana represents the key to unlock rifts from the Planes to dimensions, allowing to take energy from them.
Generally Mana can be obtained and applied via Mana Catalysts, which by high chance, are gonna be made by the Deus. More about Mana usage in Magic see here.
Nature
AIR
The true nature of Mana lies behind comprehension for non-Deus. Supposedly the Mana represents kind of a glue energy connecting planes together into dimensions according to AIR. In the same time it can be used to "disconnect" dimensions making mana even more incomprehensible.
Chaos Siphon
Catalysts harvest rare coherence fluctuationsâusing one might subtly destabilize local reality.
Deus Echo
Mana is residual will of the Deus; overuse "dilutes" the artifact's connection.
Psyche Resonance
Catalysts draw from collective unconscious; mass casting could cause psychic tides or memory leaks.
Temporal Loan
Mana is borrowed from future coherenceâevery spell creates a "debt" that must be repaid by reality itself.
