Mana Manipulator was a supportive item in League of Legends that provided mana regeneration through an aura effect. It was removed from the game in patch V3.14.

The item provided 5 mana regeneration per 5 seconds to nearby allied champions, making it particularly valuable for mana-dependent teammates. At 300 gold, it was one of the few advanced items that could be purchased at the start of a game.

Key Features:

  • Cost: 300 gold
  • Recipe: Faerie Charm + 120 gold
  • Effect: Provided 5 mana regeneration aura to nearby allies
  • Gold efficiency: 100% base efficiency, increasing by 100% per nearby allied champion

Notable Changes:

  • V3.14: Removed from game
  • V3.7: Cost reduced to 300 from 400 gold, aura reduced to 5 from 6
  • V1.0.0.152: Cost reduced to 400 from 475 gold
  • V0.8.22.115: Renamed from "Zetta's Mana Manipulator" to "Mana Manipulator"

The item was particularly cost-effective when used with multiple mana-using allies, providing up to 500% gold efficiency with five mana-reliant teammates. It could be built into Shard of True Ice before its removal.

Trivia:

  • Most gold-efficient item when affecting five allied mana-using champions
  • One of the few advanced items available for purchase at game start
  • Originally built into now-removed items like Soul Shroud and Innervating Locket

The removal of Mana Manipulator in patch V3.14 marked the end of this early-game support item, which had been part of League of Legends since its early seasons.
