Mana Leech

In the game: X% Mana stolen per hitMLMana stolen per hitReduced against players

How it works

Mana Leech returns a percentage of the physical damage you deal as mana. Like Life Leech it is cut twice: by the difficulty (difficultylevels.txt ManaStealDivisor: all of it in Normal, half in Nightmare, a third in Hell) and by the monster's own drain figure (monstats.txt Drain), which is 100 on most Normal monsters, falls through Nightmare and Hell, and is empty — no leech at all — on skeletons, most ghosts and the later act bosses in Hell.

mana returned = physical damage dealt × leech % ÷ 100 ÷ ManaStealDivisor × monster drain ÷ 100

Elemental damage gives nothing, a physical immune gives nothing, and a miss gives nothing. A small amount goes a long way on a fast melee attacker in Normal and Nightmare and almost nowhere in Hell, where Mana after each Kill, Damage Taken Goes To Mana and Regenerate Mana are the steadier sources. The whole rule, with the monster table, is on Leech.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (manadrainmindam) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
