Mana Points

[Cpt Micha]

Mana Points, are the excess energy of Magik which permeates the world of Lakaria. Magic comes from the sun in this system, as Lakaria is the closest to the sun (that is habitable) it receives the most magic of the worlds in the system.Certain powerful individuals (pcs) can harness this power, in it's most raw and untapped form occasionally which enables to do things that often times fly in the face of reality.

These individuals, can not do this very often though, as it taxes even their powerful forms like the excess use of magic often does. Often times one will glow with distinctive colors and patterns of light around them as they channel this great power in such a manner it is almost as fantastic to watch, as the action that they put this power to use for.

You gain mana points depending on how much power your character can harness and contain within his or her self. You can not "save" Mana Points from level to level. They do not accumulate, as after a certain amount of Mana build up it simply bleeds away. You gain Mana Points at each level. Which you may use over the course of that level.

At Heroic Tier you gain two Mana Points per level.
At Paragon Tier you gain four Mana Points per level.
At Epic Tier you gain Six Mana Points per level.
