Etymology 1

[edit]

Borrowed fromMaorimana, ultimately fromProto-Polynesian*mana, fromProto-Oceanic*mana.

The use of "mana" for "magical energy" in role-playing games originated fromLarry Niven, when he wrote the short story, "Not Long Before the End", in 1969. It was later popularised by hisThe Magic Goes Away setting.

Noun

[edit]

mana (usuallyuncountable,pluralmanas)

Power,prestige;specifically, a form ofsupernaturalenergy inPolynesianreligion thatinheres inthings orpeople.[from 19th c.]
- 1862 January 25, Thomas H. Smith, chapter 4, inAppendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives of New Zealand, Wellington:House of Representatives,→OCLC,pages10 and 12:
  They further required that a certain number of the old Chiefs should be liberally pensioned by the Government, and placed upon a footing of equality with European gentlemen of independent means, in consideration of their resigning their "mana" as Chiefs in favor of the new system[…]
- 1920,Edward Carpenter,Pagan and Christian Creeds, New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., page61:
  The human tribe partakes of themana or life-force of the animal, and is strengthened[…]
- 1971,Keith Thomas,Religion and the Decline of Magic, London:Weidenfeld & Nicolson,OCLC 71368859; republished London:Folio Society, 2012,OCLC 805007047, page 193:
  But in popular estimation their essential virtue derived from the personalmana of the sovereign.
- 1999, Pat Hohepa, “My Musket, My Missionary and MyMana”, in Alex Calder, Jonathan Lamb, Bridget Orr, editors,Voyages and Beaches, Honolulu:University of Hawaiʻi Press,→ISBN, page197:
  It can be seen, therefore, thatmana is a nonvisible changing measure; it can remain static, increase, or decrease, depending on the actions or inaction of the recipient, and it can be enhanced or diminished.
- 2001 September, Aldo Matteucci, “Language and Diplomacy – A Practitioner's View”, in Jovan Kurbalija, Hannah Slavik, editors,Language and Diplomacy, Malta: DiploProjects, Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies,University of Malta,→ISBN, page61:

- 2012, Harold Hill, “Te Ope Whakaora, the Army that Brings Life”, in Hugh[Douglas] Morrison, Lachy Paterson, Brett Knowles, Murray Rae, editors,Mana Māori and Christianity, Wellington:Huia Publishers,→ISBN:

  Mana is the name we give to the power behind magic.
- 1977,David Hargrave, “Magik, What It Is and What It Does” (chapter VII), inThe Arduin Grimoire:
  However,all such magik requires the mages [sic] own "MANA" or "internal power" to make it work. Without themana, a spoken spell is just so much gibberish.
- 1993,Richard Garfield, “Overview of Play”, inMagic: The Gathering: A Fantasy Trading Card Game [rulebook]‎^[3], Limited Edition Alpha edition,Wizards of the Coast, archived fromthe original on8 March 2013, page 9:

  […] Teleporting from an open room where there were a dozen black orcs firing bows[…] landed me, low onmana and hitpoints, in a room full of gnome mages who instantly summoned four umber hulks and a xorn!
- 2010, Ernest Adams, “Artifical Life and Puzzle Games”, inFundamentals of Game Design, 2nd edition, Berkeley, Calif.:New Riders,→ISBN, page580:
  Mana often grows in exponential proportion to population size, so as the population increases the player acquires vastly greater powers—a progression that god games share with spellcaster characters in role-playing games.
- 2023 December 1, Evelynn Kersting, “Games and Time”, inUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee‎^[5], page226‎^[6], archived fromthe original on6 June 2025:
  The player starts with nomana crystals, and gets one on their first turn, meaning an 8-mana card cannot be played until turn 8.
