English term or phrase: MANA
Definition from Cyber Definitions:
MANA means Unit of Magical Power in an online gaming context. Used most often in the context of fantasy RPG (Role Playing Game), MANA (sometimes called MP) is common term for a unit of magical power. As a rule, the higher a player's MANA score, the more potent the player's spells.

Example sentence(s):
  • Much of the game mechanic revolves around managing and using mana wisely: casting spells often enough to achieve your goal, but not so often that you run out of mana early. The Appendix
  • The TCG Magic: The Gathering uses mana as the central game mechanic. Mana is typically produced by tapping card resources such as land, artifacts, or creatures. It’s used for summoning every item on the battlefield and for casting every spell, with a few rare exceptions. Geeky Domain
  • Still, it’s not an easy fix: mana systems are inherently meant to limit power, so how can you make having limited power fun? A good way to tackle this problem is to first take a look at a wider variety of games to see different approaches to this paradox. Omegathorion

魔力


Definition from own experience or research:
魔力とは魔法使いの魔法と悪魔の魔法両方に言われている。しかし、ゲーム内にはMP 「magic points」や「マナ」もよく使っていますから、個人的にはこの四つの単語からどっちも選べばいいだと思います。

Example sentence(s):
  • ゲームを始めると時間を忘れて没頭してしまう人もいますね。 それほどゲームには人を魅了させる強い魔力があります。 - note.com
