Mana Flower

The Mana Flower is a pre-Hardmode accessory that reduces mana usage by 8%, and enables auto-consumption of any mana-restoring potions in the player's inventory when mana is depleted. The Mana Flower stacks with other mana cost-reduction items, including Nature's Gift. It is crafted at the Tinkerer's Workshop.

Tips

 * The Mana Flower effectively makes continuous use of magic weapons limited only by the number of mana restoration potions in the player's inventory. As with consuming any mana potion, it causes Mana Sickness, a debuff that temporarily reduces magic damage dealt by the player by 1% per 1/5 second for 5 seconds each time a mana potion is consumed. This debuff is able to stack for up to 50% magic damage reduction at a maximum duration of 10 seconds. Because of this, Celestial Cuffs may be preferred to restore mana.
 * It may be preferable to rely on the hotkey to quickly restore mana. While this frees up an accessory slot, bear in mind the reduction of mana consumption will no longer be applied.
 * The Mana Flower sells for more than Nature's Gift and Mana Potion individually. Spare Nature's Gift should be crafted into Mana Flowers before being sold for maximum profit (~50s each).
 * It can still be good to craft the Mana Flower, even if you don't want the Mana Sickness, because, if you have no potion that can restore mana in your inventory, the Mana Flower will act as a better Nature's gift.

Trivia

 * Although the Mana Flower is crafted from a Mana Potion, its sprite shows a Greater Mana Potion.
