I was wondering where the term 'mana', meaning 'magic points' in gaming comes from.
At first I thought it came from the Maori word 'mana' but now I don't think so because 'mana' is more like authority, like the latin word 'auctoritas'.
I tried to google it but all I got was conflicted discussions.
Does anybody know?
