|p=''>>>And if this post inflamed you to action, then I did what I set out to do, I am currently I [[Aesry]], at the Inn, Near the bank, where the water is poured into goblets, oddly enough, the 'zen' Garden does not have good elemental {{PRel|Mana}}.''

''>>Regions of relative peace and balance tend to be void any sort of mana.''

In practice, 99% of rooms in the game have an intentionally randomized mana distribution, so trying to correlate mana to qualities in the room description is going to to leave you frustrated.

In vague {{PRel|Magical Theory|lore}} sense? Mana is produced by (or resonate with, depending on your philosophy) the frequency's element in action. A water fountain produces no or negligible Elemental power; waves breaking against a sheer ocean cliff, a bit more. A woman standing in the street has no impact on Life mana, but the woman giving birth or getting a knife stuck in her back does. These kind of specific events accumulate and average out into the persistent values you see in {{com|Perceive|PERC}}.

As mentioned, sometimes the mana value of a room defies easy explanation. At which point we wave our hands vaguely and point out that the characters having an imperfect understanding of how mana works is entirely believable.
