Mana and Spell Mana

Detailed explanation of mana and spell mana mechanics in Legends of Runeterra, crucial for resource management.

Mana is the resource used to play cards. You gain one mana gem at the start of each round, up to a maximum of 10. Unspent mana from one round is converted into 'Spell Mana' for the next, up to a maximum of 3. Spell Mana can only be used to cast spells, not units. Efficiently managing both regular and spell mana is a cornerstone of advanced play, allowing for powerful turns and unexpected plays. Don't waste your spell mana!
