Health, Mana & Stamina
Health keeps you alive and grows with your Vitality level, which you train by healing, mostly by eating food. Mana powers Occult spells, Curse Warps and some jewellery, and grows with your Occultism level. Stamina pays for attacks and blocking and grows with Dexterity. This guide explains how all three work, with numbers taken from the game files and the server code.
◆ ◆ ◆
Health
Your max health is 100 at Vitality level 1 and 300 at level 100. Every Vitality level adds 2 health, with 1 extra at levels 50 and 100. Some food also raises your max health for a while (listed below).
Vitality does not level from fighting. You get 1.2 Vitality XP for every point of health you actually heal with food or healing over time. Healing past your max health is wasted and gives nothing, and natural regeneration gives no XP. So eat when you are hurt: a 100 health heal at low health gives 120 Vitality XP, the same heal at full health gives none.
Natural regeneration
Out of combat you slowly regain 1 health every 6 seconds, but only while you are below 40% of your max health. Above that, only food and spells heal you. A curse at level 6 or 7 halves this regeneration, and curse level 8 stops it completely.
Every curse level and its effects: Curse & Humanity
Healing food
Everything you can eat to heal, best first. The Vitality XP shown is the most you can get, when all of the heal is used. A few heal-over-time foods give no Vitality XP.

Mana
Mana (called Occultic Charge in the game) is used for Occult spells, Curse Warps and occult totems and rituals. Your max mana is 400 at Occultism level 1 and grows by 15 per level, plus 40 at level 50 and 75 more at level 100, for 2,000 at level 100.
Mana does not refill on its own. You gain it by crushing Ichor and totems, or by sacrificing them at an Occultic shrine for more. Spell costs are in the same mana, so a 250 mana spell uses most of a level 1 pool.

Shrines
Sacrificing at a shrine gives more mana than crushing, and Occultism XP too. Each shrine has its own multiplier:
Domaanziin ShrineSacrifices give ×2 mana and ×2 Occultism XP
Occultic ShrineSacrifices give ×2.25 mana and ×2.25 Occultism XP
Once your Humanity (your total skill levels plus quest points) is 1,600 or more, shrine sacrifices give extra while you carry a strong curse: ×1.5 mana and XP when your curse is above 30% of your max curse, and ×2 above 70%. Mana over your max is not lost: it turns into Occultism XP at a quarter of the amount.

Curse Warps
Curse Warps cost mana twice: once to unlock each warp, then on every trip. A trip costs 5 mana for every 25 steps of distance between the two warps (rounded up), so the further warp costs more. Arcana warps cost items instead of mana.

Jewellery with its own mana
Some jewellery has a small mana pool of its own, separate from yours. It uses 1 mana each time its effect triggers and stops working when empty. Recharge it at an altar: the price depends on how much it used, up to 25 to 400 for a full recharge depending on the item.

Stamina
Stamina pays for attacks, blocking and other combat abilities. Your max stamina grows with Dexterity the same way health grows with Vitality: 100 at level 1, 2 more per level with 1 extra at levels 50 and 100, for 300 at level 100. A Stamina Restore Potion also adds 20 max stamina for a while.
Stamina refills on its own at 86 per second, and at half that speed (43 per second) while you are in combat. It does not refill while you are using an ability or are busy, and it waits 0.7 seconds after you stop before it starts again. Being Rested makes it refill 10% faster.

Health, mana and stamina by level
Max health comes from Vitality, max stamina from Dexterity and max mana from Occultism. Max curse is on the Curse & Humanity page.
