====== Mana(Sp) ======
Mana represents the magical energy or spell points of a [[:characters|character]] or how big a [[:spells|spell]] or how many times you can cast a [[:spells|spell]]. 
Mana is based on of the wizard's innate [[characters:pow|power (POW)]] but may be increased through his skill in specific [[skills:spell_casting|schools]] of wizardry. Mana recharges slowly based on a players [[characters:sp_regen|mana regeneration rate]].


==== Max Mana ====
If a player does not have any wizardry skills, then their max sp is always 1 . \\
Otherwise Mana is calculated based on a players [[:characters:POW]] and [[:characters:INT]] \\ 
and the highest level in a [[:skills:wizardry|Wizardry Skill]] or "Best Wizardry Level"  \\
//e.g. A player with level 10 in [[:skills:Pyromancy]] but level 15 [[:skills:Evocation]] would get 15// .

A [[:characters|character's]] maximum mana can be defined by:

- If Best Wizardry Level is at or below level 10
  Max Mana = (((2 x the Power Bonus) + the Intelligence Bonus)) x (Best Wizardry Level + 1)/3) + Best Wizardry Level

- If Best Wizardry Level is above level 10
  Max Mana = (((2 x the Power Bonus) + the Intelligence Bonus) x 11/3) + (2 x (Best Wizardry Level - 10)) + 10

Therefore, using the below table, a player with level 15 evocation, 15 POW and 20 INT, would have:

  Max Mana = (((2 x 1) + 2.25) x 11/3) + (2 x (15 - 10)) + 10
  Max Mana = ((2 + 2.25) x 11/3) + (2 x 5) + 10
  Max Mana = ((4.25) x 11/3) + (2 x 5) + 10
  Max Mana = 16 + 20
  Max Mana = 36 mana

===From old handbook===
Mana (Sp)
A character will gain the following number of Sp for each new magic experience category level gained between levels 1-10:

(MgB(POW))/2 + D3 + D3 + 1 every even level if MgB is even.

Where D3 is a random number between 1 and 3 and you always get 1 mana gained per new level. For magic levels past the 10th, mana grows 2 per level.
