Mana Manipulator: The Forgotten League of Legends Support Item
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.
