Mana Regeneration

 is a buff granted to the player upon consuming a Mana Regeneration Potion. The buff increases the rate at which your Mana regenerates. This lasts for 2 minutes, but can be cancelled at any time by right-clicking the icon.

The natural rate of regeneration is modified by whether or not the player is moving, and how much current mana a character has. This formula exists to punish reckless mana use - spend all your mana, and you will not have any recovery until you stop moving or use a potion. Conversely, when the player waits between uses of magical weapons until mana is refilled, and stands still, mana recovers at its fastest possible rate.

This buff acts as if the player had more current mana than they actually have, meaning that the player regenerates mana as if they had near-200 current mana and were standing still, even if they were moving. Hence, using this buff, the player will regenerate mana as quickly as someone specifically trying to regenerate mana quickly even while using mana recklessly, making it excellent for boss-fighting situations, where high mobility is paramount to survival. However, mana still does not regenerate for a small period of time after any magic is expended, and weapons like Magic Missile will prevent any mana regeneration for as long as the bolt is active, even with the improved regeneration. Continuous fire is thus impossible without rapid consumption of Mana Potions or use of Star Statues.
