English term or phrase: MANA

Definition from Cyber Definitions:
MANA means Unit of Magical Power in an online gaming context. Used most often in the context of fantasy RPG (Role Playing Game), MANA (sometimes called MP) is common term for a unit of magical power. As a rule, the higher a player's MANA score, the more potent the player's spells.

Example sentence(s):

Much of the game mechanic revolves around managing and using mana wisely: casting spells often enough to achieve your goal, but not so often that you run out of mana early. The Appendix
The TCG Magic: The Gathering uses mana as the central game mechanic. Mana is typically produced by tapping card resources such as land, artifacts, or creatures. It’s used for summoning every item on the battlefield and for casting every spell, with a few rare exceptions. Geeky Domain
Still, it’s not an easy fix: mana systems are inherently meant to limit power, so how can you make having limited power fun? A good way to tackle this problem is to first take a look at a wider variety of games to see different approaches to this paradox. Omegathorion

مانا

Definition from wikipedia:
در اسطوره‌های پلی‌نزیایی، مانا نیرویی فراطبیعی و فراگیر است که در جهان مرئی و نامرئی ساری و جاری است و دو جهان را نیز به هم مرتبط می‌کند.

Example sentence(s):

در برخی سنت‌های اساطیری پلی‌نزی، مانا به عنوان ماده و مایه‌ای دانسته می‌شود که برای جادو لازم است. برای پلی‌نزیایی‌ها مانا حکم قدرت و احترام و آبرو را داشت. افرادی که از مانا برخوردار بودند افراد قدرتمند و مهمی بودند. نه تنها افراد بلکه نهادها و دولت‌ها و اشیای غیرزنده نیز می‌توانند مانا داشته باشند. در باور بومیان هاوایی، بسته به کارهایی که انجام می‌دهیم می‌توانیم مانا به‌دست آورده یا مانا از دست بدهیم. نیاکان مردم هاوایی هم‌چنین بر این باور بودند که جزیره مولوکای نسبت به جزیره‌های همسایه خود مانای قدرتمندتری دارد. - wiki
