Mana Axe
Overview
Mana Axe is a Mystic item that specializes in mana burn. Instead of increasing attack damage directly, it burns mana from enemy heroes and deals pure damage based on the amount of mana removed. This makes Mana Axe one of the most effective anti-mage items in Spelltroum.

Stats
Why Use Mana Axe?
Mana Axe is designed to punish mana-dependent heroes. Each attack burns mana from the target and converts the burned mana into pure damage. Unlike Physical or Magic Damage, this damage is not reduced by armor, making it effective against a wide variety of enemies. The item becomes especially powerful against heroes that rely heavily on abilities — by draining their mana, Mana Axe not only damages them but also limits their ability to fight back. At higher levels it can quickly deplete an enemy's mana pool while dealing a surprising amount of additional damage. The final upgrade also grants movement speed, making it a useful alternative to basic boots for some heroes.
