Mana is the name for the unit of measurement for arcane energy. It is mainly used in wizardly studies, where different calculations on spell components, energy requirements, and arcane storage are use to discover the needed amount of arcane prowess needed to finish a task. 1 unit of mana is defined as the amount of arcane energy needed to fully saturate 1 litre of water with magic. Organic material usually has a higher naturally occurring arcane saturation than inorganic material. However, the fractal and iterative structure of most crystals have a more optimal maximum capacity for mana than most other things.
