;''Details''

: There's nothing special about this really. There is, however, one interesting anomally: While [[API UnitHealth|UnitHealth]] will return percentage values for "target" and "mouseover", this one seems to return the actual mana points for all possible targets.

:This is also the mechanism for getting a unit's rage or energy, since there were no corresponding UnitEnergy or UnitRage functions.  You can use [[API UnitPowerType|UnitPowerType]] to figure out whether what you're getting is Rage, Energy, or actual Mana.
