The Mana Potion was a consumable item in League of Legends that restored 100 mana over 15 seconds. It was permanently removed from the game in patch V9.23.

Key Features:

  • Restored 100 mana over 15 seconds
  • Could be stacked up to 5 times in inventory
  • Cost 35 gold (before removal)
  • Didn't interrupt channeled abilities

Notable Changes:

  • Originally called "Potion of Brilliance"
  • Removed from regular shop in V5.22
  • Briefly available through Kleptomancy rune
  • Final removal in V9.23 with Kleptomancy's removal

Seasonal Variants:

  • Eggnog Mana Potion (Snowdown Showdown 2009-2011)
  • Mana-Encrusted Apple (Harrowing 2010)
  • Dragon Dumpling (Lunar Revel)

Interesting Mechanics:

  • Could queue multiple potions (max 5 stacks)
  • Worked with Chalice of Harmony's passive, increasing potency up to 100%
  • Had unique interactions with manaless champions when obtained through Kleptomancy

Legacy: While no direct replacement was introduced, similar mana-restoring effects can be found in items like Corrupting Potion and Hunter's Potion.

Patch History:

  • V9.23: Final removal
  • V5.22: Removed from shop
  • Earlier patches: Various balance changes including cost reduction (40g → 35g) and duration adjustments

The item became less effective in mid to late game as champion mana pools and ability costs increased, but remained a useful early game resource for mana-dependent champions.
