  • Magic (gaming)

    Magic or mana is an attribute assigned to characters within a role-playing or video game that indicate their power to use special abilities or "spells". Magic is usually measured in magic points or mana points, shortened as MP. Different abilities will use up different amounts of MP. When the MP of a character reaches zero, the character won't be able to use special abilities until some of their MP is recovered.

    Much like health, magic might be displayed as a numeric value, such as "50/100". Here, the first number indicates the current amount of MP a character has whereas the second number indicates the character's maximum MP. In video games, magic can also be displayed visually, such as with a gauge that empties itself as a character uses their abilities.

    History

    The magic system in pen-and-paper role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons is largely based on patterns established in the novels of author Jack Vance. In this system, the player character can only memorize a fixed number of spells from a list of spells. Once this spell is used once, the character forgets it and becomes unable to use it again.

    Trouble sleeping, trouble dreaming of you
    Trouble speaking, trouble thinking of you
    Something strange has happened, I just
    Can't get myself, together, no kind of way for you
    Must have put a spell on my mind, you must
    Have put a spell on my mind and turned me around
    Trouble seeing, trouble visions of you
    Trouble thinking, trouble control my will to
    Take a bow if you want to, I still can't
    Get myself together, no kind of way for you
    Must have put a spell on my mind, oh spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind, you made
    A new man of me, now I feel heavenly for you
    Must have a put a spell on my mind
    Must have put a spell on my mind
    I'm under your power baby, oh, spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind
    I'm under your power baby, oh, spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind
    You see, I gave you everything I had
    But you just pushed me away
    I tried so hard to break loose
    But you gained control everyday
    Spell on my mind, I watched you take
    My whole world from me and there was
    Nothing I could do, a secret word
    A hidden touch and I belonged to you, spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind
    I'm under your power baby
    Must have put a spell on my mind, oh, spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind
    I'm under your power baby, oh, spell
    Must have put a spell on my mind
