Wouldn't mana be using the stuff of your own essence, in effect using tiny bits of your soul to power spells? No need for that in Mundus, what with the stuff of magic leaking from the sun and stars. Magicka is in a way your ability to harness primal spell stuff from outside yourself. so I have to say mana would be a very silly word indeed, in this particular universe.

What's wrong with 'Chutzpah?'

Hey at least it's not as dumb as calling the amount of physical energy you have FATIGUE. I mean, technically, have a LOT of Fatigue would mean you'd be too tired to swing the damn sword!

A potion that RESTORES Fatigue? I don't want a potion that's about to make me more tired!

I'm glad they changed it to Stamina. It should have been called that since day 1, IMO.

My 2 cents.

Isn't "mana" a type of bread?

Why is it called mana anyways? Isn't mana a bird?

Huh, personally I think that Magicka sounds better than mana.

Yeah I always call it mana out of habit as well.


My guess is that they stick to RGB. Red for health, green for stamina, and blue for magic.

It would be nice to have some mojo along with our mana. You could cast some of that mojo in the various taverns and inns of Skyrim.

No one is stopping YOU from referring to it as magic. And if it really bothers you, just stop playing the game.

I honestly could not care less what they call it and think it's Beth's game, let em call it what they please.

Mana makes me think of J-RPGs. I kinda prefer Magicka and other words like 'Energy'.

It's been magicka in the elder scrolls as long as I can remember. I also hope they keep it that way. All this generic mana talk drives me crazy.

Mana makes me think of playing a Game Boy RPG from the 90s.


I'm past that.
