What is mana (MP) in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
In video games, "mana" (MP, Magic Points, Mana Points) is a resource or energy used by players or playable characters to activate magic spells, special attacks, or abilities.
Mana is an indicator that determines how much a player or character can use magic or special abilities in a game. Each magical action or special attack requires a certain amount of mana to activate it. When a character uses magic or special attacks, the amount of mana decreases.
Players must balance the use of mana in the game, as the use of magic attacks or abilities can deplete the mana supply. To recover a mana, players can use special items, perform in-game actions, or use special abilities that allow them to recover their mana over time.
Quite often in video games, after activating a magical action, the existing mana decreases (each magical attack has its own price, which is measured by mana points) and КД is enabled. So in order to repeat this magical attack again, you need to make sure that the required amount of mana is present and wait for the spell to be restored.
Mana is a special feature in fantasy or magic setting games such as role-playing games (RPG) or fantasy element games where players can use spells and magic attacks. Mana adds a strategic element to the gameplay, as players must use their magical abilities wisely to successfully defeat enemies and tasks in the game.
In addition to mana, the character has a stock of XP, which also needs to be constantly monitored.
