==Overview==
During play, mana powers up [[Card|Cards]] to allow them to be played.
Each matching [[Matching|Match]] of 3 of or more gems [[Gems]] on the gem [[Gem board ]] provides an amount of mana according to the number of gems matched, and the mana bonuses of the [[portal:Planeswalkers|Planeswalker]].
The mana required to play a card corresponds to the card's casting cost, which may range from 1 to 30.
==Mana types==
Mana of any of the five colors [[color]]s can be used to pay the casting cost of cards of any color. Other specialised types of mana exist.

===Gem matches===
[[Matching]] [[Gems]] on the [[Gem matches are board]] is the most common way of gaining mana. Each gem match on the gem board provides an amount of mana which is the sum of the following:* The number of gems of the same colour color which were matched* The Planeswalker's mana bonus of the colour color of the gems which were matched
Very large amounts of mana may sometimes be gained in a single turn via cascades on the gem board, where one match leads to another.
In events which are [[Portal:Events#Icon descriptions|Supercharged]], each colour color match provides an additional 3 mana.
