Mana

Mana is one of three Vitals in Outward, represented by the blue circular bar in the bottom left corner of screen.

Obtaining Mana
Characters do not start the game with Mana. Mana can be obtained permanently on any characters through a Ley Line, such as the one at Conflux Chambers. A small quest is completed from obtaining mana, called Acquire Mana.

Recovering Mana
Mana does not regenerate automatically, it can be regained through various methods such as:


 * Mana Ratio Recovery, a mana-restoring effect gained from many sources
 * Directly through potions, such as: Astral Potion, Great Astral Potion and Gep's Drink
 * Leyline Connection passive skill
 * Needs: Tired and Needs: Very Tired status effects
 * Resting
 * Rain, Arcane Unison  and Inheritance of the Past  enchantments

Burnt Mana
Sleeping will burn 5% of max mana per 1 hour of sleep, up to a maximum of 50% burnt mana.

Casting spells restores a small amount of burnt mana.

Consumables which restore burnt mana:
 * Astral Potion
 * Great Astral Potion
 * Soothing Tea

Increasing Maximum Mana
Other than by using the Leyline at Conflux Chambers, players can also increase their maximum mana with passive skills, such as:
