# Mana

Mana is a way to collect power to use active skills in Nebula. Mana related values to modify are located in the main configuration file under the **MANA** section.

## How to have Mana enabled on an item ?

Mana is not enabled by default, you have to place a [mana bar scroll](/nebula/items/nebula-items/scrolls.md#mana-bar-scroll) on your item to enable mana on it.

## How to reload mana ?

The mana can be reloaded in different ways :

* Via the Mana reloader if enabled in the configuration file (each period of time, players with mana item in hands will receive amount of mana)
* Via enchantments effects (some effects are modifying the mana value)

## How to increase maximum mana value

The maximum mana value can be increased using a [mana max scroll](/nebula/items/nebula-items/scrolls.md#mana-max-scroll) but cannot exceed the max value defined in the main configuration file called `mana_max_value`.

## Usage

Mana is used mainly to activate active skills and will be decreased according to the needed amount

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use mana also for non-active skills, but in premade enchantments in Nebula, only active skills use mana
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Enchantments using permanent trigger won't be affected by mana, if the value is not 0 in the enchantment file, it will be ignored
{% endhint %}
