Mana is a crucial resource in League of Legends that determines a champion's ability to cast spells. It's represented by the blue bar below the health indicator and functions as a limiting factor for ability usage.

Base mana increases automatically with champion level, while bonus mana can be acquired through items, runes, and buffs. Each point of mana has a gold value of 1.

Key Aspects of Mana:

  • Regenerates slowly over time
  • Can be restored through specific abilities, items, and effects
  • Stacks additively (both flat and percentage values)
  • Some champions are manaless and use alternative resources

Mana Scaling Sources:

  • Champion abilities (like Ryze's spells and Kassadin's Riftwalk)
  • Items (including Archangel's Staff, Manamune, and Seraph's Embrace)
  • Runes (Presence of Mind, Manaflow Band)
  • Summoner Spells (Clarity)
  • Neutral buffs (Ocean Dragon Soul)

Ways to Increase Mana:

  1. Items and their passives (Tear of the Goddess, Winter's Approach)
  2. Champion abilities (like Ryze's Arcane Mastery)
  3. Runes (Manaflow Band)

Several champions have abilities whose mana costs decrease with rank or level, including:

  • Ashe's Volley
  • Cassiopeia's Twin Fang
  • Lucian's Relentless Pursuit
  • Udyr's stance abilities

The maximum achievable mana in the game is 6,796.293 with Ryze at level 18, achieved through a specific combination of items, runes, buffs, and his passive ability that scales with AP.
