Weapons & Equip An idea for make Mana useful with Ranger and Melee

[ManoloReturns]

Hi, i hope you're having a nice day, my idea consists in an accssesory for Ranger that make your guns shoot a copy of the bullet you have at cost of Mana, this copy make 50% of damage and cost 5 mana each (or something more balance), the idea of this item is to make mana more useful for Ranger, but can be implemented for melee, for example, you can have a accssesory that make you a shield like the solar flare armor, only that this shield don't let you dash and consume a lot of mana when it's used.

I belive that is a fun idea to have more options to use mana as a resource with Ranger and melee, and this is my idea on how it can be used. If you have another idea that can be cool i think we can improve the game in this way.

Thanks for reading, sorry if i misspelled something but english is not my first lenguage.

I think going too far with mana being used for them would just end up making them additional mages, but something could be done with the concept of all-class mana things, like an accessory that makes you dodge an attack at the cost of 200 your mana and doesent work during mana sickness.

Mana Sickness only affects magic damage, meaning that so long as you have mana potions you have infinite mana for other classes, making Mana only an annoyance when using these

so okay, you make mana sickness affect these weapons too, but these still dont work: Other classes dont have maximum mana increases or mana cost reductions for obvious reasons, and you wont spend an accessory slot for one weapon or item, so the mana cost is basically just a cooldown equivalent to however long it takes to restore max mana. What exactly is the difference between a dash that costs 200 mana to use, and a dash with a cooldown equivalent to however long it would take to regenerate that mana? That the accessory is broken if you start picking up mana stars? That mage users miss out on it for no good reason?

There is simply no point in trying to force mana into other classes
