Resource

A Resource Pool is part of a character's ability to use Skills. It's generally gathered in various ways and expended upon using as skill, where skills have different "costs", and use a different amount of resource from the pool. Mana is the prime example of a resource pool.

Diablo Games

In Diablo I and Diablo II all classes used Mana as their one main resource, but in Diablo III not all classes share the same resource. In all the Diablo Games so far, class' resource pool is located in the UI, on the bottom right hand side, usually in an orb or sphere.

Resource Pools

Mana

Mana is the most known resource pool, having been in many RPGs and is usually represented by a blue colour. So far the Witch Doctor and the Wizard are confirmed to use mana as their ability resource in Diablo III.
