Mana

Mana is the mystic energy that an adept draws upon to cast spells.

It appears in abundance is wild areas, but the presence of large number of sentient entities degrades the supply and makes spell casting more tiring than it would be otherwise. These are commonly refered to as low mana zones.

In some areas, known as high mana zones, the mana is so rich that it causes unpredictable and spontaneous magical efffects. In other zones, the mana may be so poor an adept may be prevented from casting at all.

The avaialblilty of mana in the area is dependant on many factors.

• Heavily populated area's tend to drain mana, so most Cities are low mana area's.
• Undead in any number use up mana also.
• Fantastical creatures restore/assist the gain of mana to these areas.
• Places of Power may improve the mana levels in an Area.
