mana point
Spell energy unit
A mana point is a unit of magical energy in video games and tabletop role-playing games.
Characters spend mana points to cast spells or use special abilities, depleting a finite pool that regenerates over time or through items.
Often abbreviated MP: I'm out of mana points—can't heal you until I rest.
The concept derives from the Polynesian spiritual concept of mana, adapted for gaming mechanics.
