It was making me mad and angry. But why was it doing this? I thought mana was a good thing. We had always been taught that in primary and secondary school. It was one of the first things we said at the beginning of the year. Bless the good mana that keeps us safe and bless the everlasting Shaman. That was a bit of a lie - no Shaman was everlasting.
