Mana Powers (Witch Hunter)

==Summary==
Mana is the basis of magic within Witch Hunter and is largely used for most battles within the series. The main group who use mana are the witches, allowing them all sorts of powers. This power is seemingly awakened through a Witches Awakening, causing them to gain a mana source, being their Witch Hat. Men in the verse are generally unable to handle mana, destroying their mind and body, but very few men have come to possess and use mana.

|-|Basic Mana Powers=
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
*Statistics Amplification
*Magic
*Healing (Mana can make wounds recover instantlyWitch Hunter: Chapter 50)
*Law Manipulation & Empathic Manipulation (Done by magic, the golden rule enforces one to show absolute loyalty even at the cost or danger of the supporter causing them to always want to protect their Witch. With Halloween we see this loyalty develop as love for Tasha and that all of it is fabricated love.Witch Hunter: Chapter 91 This is not necessarily a battle-applicable ability, but rather a hax some witches are capable of doing, or have already done but not something they tend to activate or abuse within battle. See notes for more info)
*Telekinesis (Mana allows for basic telekinesis like here, here and here)
*Energy Manipulation (Manipulation of Mana is as natural as breathing to witches, for non-witches it is nearly impossible to comprehend how to controlWitch Hunter: Chapter 73)
*Invisibility (Magic and Mana are invisibleWitch Hunter: Chapter 12)
*Enhanced Senses (Neutral Vision - X-Ray Vision - Able to see and sense mana which is invisible, as well as being able to see mana within the body)
*Damage Boost (Mana can increase a weapons power drasticallyWitch Hunter: Chapter 11)
*Immortality & Life Manipulation (Type 1 - Mana is able to keep the user alive, Tasha's arm was cut off and with mana it was still alive. Halloween lives through mana. Merlin stopped aging after he started producing mana.Witch Hunter: Chapter 12 This is also true for Ryuhwan, Eun Ryu, and Lance who all use mana have stopped aging)
*Immortality Negation (Type 3 - At least Low-Mid, likely higher - Damage done by mana can only be undone by mana. With Halloween we see that the mana stays inside the wound and can't be removed without large amounts of mana to do so.Witch Hunter: Chapter 30Witch Hunter: Chapter 31 Regular healing magic from Elma is unable to heal damage caused by mana.Witch Hunter: Chapter 15 The wounds as well continuously bleed. Other regeneration such as regenerating from decapitation should also be negated as the wound will still be covered with mana)
*Regeneration (Low-Mid - Witches like Aria are able to heal from wounds such as deep scarring and a missing arm like Tasha received.Witch Hunter: Chapter 178 Edea while she was extremely low on mana was able to heal Tasha's wounds, and could have healed her own if she had more mana.Witch Hunter: Chapter 188 After Lance cut off Tasha's arm, we see that it is able to be reattached thanks to it still having mana supplied to itWitch Hunter: Chapter 50)
*Matter Manipulation (Atomic - Able to turn water into a substance harder than steelWitch Hunter: Chapter 73)
*Poison Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Pain Manipulation (Type 1 - Mana is a poison that destroys one's sanity and body.Witch Hunter: Chapter 14 Simple attacks with mana infused against people with zero resistance would start to be greatly affected by it's introduction into one's body. We see that mana begins breaking the body and making the eyes bleed with Sabrina.Witch Hunter: Chapter 212 Magic also causes pain once in the body to the point of deathWitch Hunter: Chapter 165)
*Extrasensory Perception (Magic Sensing - Life Sensing - Witches are able to cast a magic detection spell to pin-point magic sourcesWitch Hunter: Chapter 157)

*Mind Manipulation (With enough energy one can resist mind manipulation as Tasha does. The average human is unable to and the Witch as well says she can only control two minds at a time of Black Class whsWitch Hunter: Chapter 6)
*Limited Memory Manipulation (WH clothing is made from memory-lapse fiber which distorts people's memories causing them to view the person wearing them as a normal person to not draw attention,Witch Hunter: Chapter 5 witches and WH are able to see past this)
*Sense Manipulation (Edea's restriction field distorts the five senses to ensure no one approaches,Witch Hunter: Chapter 172 yet Aria entered it stating normal humans wouldn't be able to)
|-|Advanced Mana Powers=
Though it is not directly stated; stronger, older, and overall more experienced Mana users would have these traits as they have shown them to some degree and would similarly have the same mastery over Mana.
*Subjective Reality (Witches are able to turn magic into what they desire it to be through soaking the magic with their desires and releasing it with the chosen effect. Edea here is capable of making the tree catch on fire through her desire,Witch Hunter: Chapter 176 something very few witches are showcased using in combat)
*Purification (Type 1 - Large amounts of mana are able to remove hostile mana from the bodyWitch Hunter: Chapter 32)

*Mana Aura (Witches like North, are able to emit great flows of manaWitch Hunter: Chapter 130)
*Improved Magic (Witches as talented as Edea should also be capable of using all three magic types simultaneouslyWitch Hunter: Chapter 157)

==Notes==
===Supporters===
The term supporter is the title held for special entities or people who are under the control of a witch. Being a supporter for a witch entails being their guardian and the main way they engage in combat. A supporter is made via the magic of the witch creating a bind, that enforces a golden rule onto the supporter thereby creating a bond through fabricated emotions for said witch making the supporter loyal to their respective witch. Very few supporters are actually able to overpower this golden rule, being mainly Lee and Lance as they are more powerful than the witch. A benefit of having a supporter is the use of magic, through a supporter, one can channel magic much easier and faster while retaining more mana as opposed to using their own mana through themselves.
