Mana

Mana is a resource used by the player when wielding Magic Weapons, the Magic Mirror, and the Orb of Light. The player's current and maximum Mana is shown as a vertical meter of blue stars on the right side of the screen. This meter can be increased permanently via Mana Crystals crafted from Fallen Stars.

The maximum Mana a player can have is 200, after which Mana Crystals will have no effect.

Mana regenerates on its own when not in use, until the player's current maximum, which occurs more quickly while standing still. Items such as the Band of Starpower, Meteor Armor, and Jungle Armor reduce the Mana cost of using magical item, and/or cause Mana to regenerate more quickly.

Some Mana can be recovered instantly by consuming certain items, such as the Fallen Star, Lesser Mana Potion, Mana Potion, Lesser Restoration Potion or Restoration Potion. Picking up Stars dropped by Pots or enemies will recover 20 Mana each. Notice that the last star on the Mana bar makes a pumping motion.

Items that consume Mana
In addition to all items listed in Magic Weapons, using the following items also consumes Mana:
 * Orb of Light
