Mana
Mana is a magical resource in Remixed Dungeon that enables the casting of spells and use of magical abilities.
Description
Mana represents the spiritual energy required to cast spells. It's a resource that certain classes and spells use, though the game doesn't have a traditional mana pool system like other RPGs.
Mechanics
- Skill Points System: The game uses a skill point system rather than traditional mana
- Spell Costs: Different spells consume specific amounts of skill points when cast
- Regeneration: Skill points regenerate over time through the Mana Regeneration buff
- Restoration: Mana Potions restore skill points when consumed (gives 1/3 of max skill points)
Classes That Use Mana
- Classes with magical affinities use skill points to cast spells
- Mages - Use skill points for elemental spells
- Necromancers - Use skill points for necromancy spells
- Rogues - Use skill points for rogue-affinity spells
- Other classes with spell access also use skill points
Items and Restoration
- Mana Potion - Drink to restore skill points (gives 1/3 of max skill points)
- Potion of Mana - Alchemy ingredient for creating mana potions
- Equipment may provide bonuses to skill point regeneration
Regeneration
- Mana Regeneration - Buff that passively accumulates skill points
- Regenerates 1 skill point every 20/(1.2^bonus) turns (faster with bonuses)
- Regeneration rate is affected by buffs and game facilitations
- Does not regenerate in unsafe areas (when enemies are present)
Spells and Abilities
- Spells - Various magical abilities that consume skill points
- Different spells have different costs (e.g., Cloak spell costs 5 skill points)
- Spell costs and mechanics are defined in Lua scripts
Strategy
- Manage skill points carefully during extended fights
- Carry Mana Potions for magic-heavy sections
- Balance offensive spells with skill point conservation
- Consider equipment that improves skill point regeneration
