Magic System
Magic systems in games are the rules, limitations, abilities, and characteristics that define magic in a game. Magic points A magic point, sometimes known as a mana point, often abbreviated to MP, is a unit of measure that indicates either or both the amount of magic that can be utilized by a user, and the amount of energy that they can harness to perform magic. A magic point system is the most common method used to regulate and thus limit the number of spells that a magical individual can cast. Such a system gives magic users a specific amount of MP, and each spell causes a specific number of magic points to be consumed upon being cast. Many systems that use magic points assign a magic user a maximum number of MP that they can have at any one time, which is different for each magic user. There is typically a way to restore lost MP, usually by resting or imbibing potions. Sometimes consuming certain foods may replenish MP.
