==Development==
All of the characters have used mana as a place holder placeholder resource when they were first announced. Only during the further development did their unique resources get implemented. See the various resource pages for a more detailed history of the evolution of each resource in Diablo III.

==Lore==
Mana is what the primal arcane [[magic]]al force that pervades [[Sanctuary]] is usually called. Individuals skilled in sensing this power can channel the spiritual essence stored in their bodies through different techniques in order to accomplish great feats that they would be physically incapable of doing.
