Mana Points
Your mana is your essense, you use it to cast blessings, interact with the world of the mortals and potentially attack or defend yourself against attacks. There is no limit on the amount of mana you can have. In fact becoming a major god is all about accumulating great amounts of it.
You start with an amount of mana that equals your (Glamour + Intellect) divided by two and starting with the second round of the game you add to your mana pool, mana points that are given to you by the people believing on you. Your Actions, Temples, Blesses and Curses can add or subtrack from this amount.
Record Initial Mana Points = (Glamour + Intellect)/2 + Equipment Bonuses (if any)
Be warned. Your "Life points" are equal to your Heritage Life bonus plus your fortitude , which means that a high fortitude might boost your life points but exerting your mana can make you vunerable to attacks by other gods.
