Mana

Mana (also known as Skill Points) is a resource system in Remixed Dungeon that powers spells and magical abilities for certain classes and character builds.

Mana represents the magical energy required to cast spells and use magical abilities. It's a limited but renewable resource that players must manage strategically. In the game code, mana is referred to as “skill points” and is tracked as the SP (Skill Points) system.

• Regeneration: Mana regenerates through the ManaRegeneration buff which grants 1 skill point at regular intervals
• Regeneration Rate: Regenerates 1 skill point every 20/(1.2^bonus) turns where bonus includes various factors
• Capacity: Maximum mana is determined by skill point maximums, which increase with level
• Consumption: Spells and special abilities consume a specific number of skill points
• Regeneration Delay: Outside of safe areas (shops, altars), mana regenerates more slowly
• Bonus Regeneration: Certain buffs and subclasses can provide mana regeneration bonuses (e.g., Shaman subclass)

• Spell Casting: Most spells require a certain number of skill points to cast
• Special Abilities: Class armors and other special abilities consume skill points
• Resource Management: Players must balance skill point use with other resources
• Class Armors: Warrior armor abilities, Mage staff powers, and other class-specific abilities require skill points

• Rogue Class: Uses mana for throwing spells like Kunai Throw
• Shaman Subclass: Provides mana regeneration bonus through HeroSubClass.manaRegenerationBonus()
• Mage Class: Has direct access to wand and spell mechanics
• Other Classes: May gain access to mana-based abilities through special means
