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

Definition from 维基百科:
魔法值(英语:Magic point,常简写为“MP”),或称“Mana”,是在许多角色扮演游戏或类似游戏中出现的一种能力值,用来度量游戏中特殊能力资源量。

  • 当游戏角色使用特殊能力的时候(诸如发起特殊攻击,或回复生命值)就会消耗一定量的魔法值,当剩余魔法值不足的时候,角色就不能发起相应的特殊能力了。 - 维基百科
