Magically-Augmented Nautical Artillery (M.A.N.A.) Classification System

Developed by Mage-Commodore Bartolomé Avant, the MANA Classification System was developed for the Magus Senate of Dalaran's Ministry of War to classify naval weaponry for the purposes of R&D cataloging and for more accurate rating of commissioned Dalarani vessels. 
== General Definition ==
MANAs are defined as: any seafaring vessel-mounted weapon whose performance is enhanced by magical means or whose function depends on the use of magic or magitech. Individual MANAs can be considered betweend 1.5 - 5 guns depending on the nature of its magical enhancement.
== Class I MANAs ==
Class I MANAs are defined as: mundane armaments whose components or ammunition are magically enchanted for the purposes of augmenting function and would still be functional should enchantments fade
=== Known Class I MANAs ===
==== Flux Acceleration Enchantments (F.A.E.s) ====
Flux acceleration enchantments can be placed upon mundane cannon barrels to accelerate the movement of any projectile leaving the barrel. The acceleration-modifying coefficient is directly proportional to the strength of the enchantment. Generally, FAEs can last up to 6 hours, with the enchantments strength gradually decreasing with time.
==== Glass Cannon Enchantments====
Glass cannon enchantments are placed upon ammunition and are so cheap and easy to apply that even the novice enchanter can learn to apply it. The enchantment greatly amplifies the convection cooling effect on the projectile as it travels from the gun to its target. The cooling effect is so great that the projectile freezes and becomes extremely brittle in transit. The frozen projectile will shatter like glass upon impact, raining shards of shrapnel to enemies within the vicinity.
== Class II MANAs ==
Class II MANAs are defined as: armaments that do NOT utilize magitech and whose users MUST actively use magic in order to operate
=== Known Class II MANAs ===
==== Conjurus Rex Cannons (CRCs) ====
Named after the Archmage Conjurus Rex, these cannons act as mounted spell-amplifying devices. Utilizing a resonance crystal core that maintains a localized oscillating ley frequency, these devices are capable of amplifying a mage's normal evocation spell fourfold. The device, however, requires full concentration by its operator, and can leave him or her vulnerable to melee attack. Further, with each successful amplification, the resonance crystal loses a little of its ability to maintain its ley frequency, requiring frequent recharging or replacing of resonance crystals.
== Class III MANAs ==
Class III MANAs are defined as armaments utilizing magitech in order to perform its intended function and whose users need NOT use magic in order to operate. 
=== Known Class III MANAs ===
== Class IV MANAs ==
Class IV MANAs are defined as armaments utilizing magitech in order to perform its intended function and whose users MUST use magic in order to operate.
