The Ritual of Refreshment is available for Mages today, among other things. The Ritual of Refreshment produces stacks of Conjured Manna Biscuits just as the Soulwell produces healthstones for others to take as needed.Conjured Manna Biscuits or Mana Biscuits? Which is right? Flaye reported it as a text bug, but Hortus confirms that Manna is the correct spelling.
Manna: Magical food. You may have heard it in a non-game context as "manna from heaven".
Mana: The resource pool that is used for casting spells in WoW.
So Manna, in this context, replenishes Mana (and Health). It may have been a better idea to call the food that restores both health and mana something like ambrosia or chocolate chip pancakes or something less confusing.
What do you think would have been a better name for the Conjured Manna Biscuits?
Mmmmm. Chocolate chip pancakes. Now I'm hungry. /afk

Will this be a 'unique' item like the healthstone, where you can't have more than one at a time? I only ask because some people will have to use them more often than others, leading to it having to be cast more often, leading to more reagents having to be carried around. That doesn't bother me a whole lot, just curious.

Phil, when you click the refreshment table, you get a stack of Manna Biscuits.

The table that you summon costs a Rune of Portals, it drops a table that has 50 charges, each charge gives you 20 Manna Biscuits, which is a combination of level 65 water/food in 1 item. There is no Unique value on the Biscuits, therefore one person can technically use all 50 charges if they have the pack space.

I suggest we call them Pansy Crackers, for pansy clothies everywhere.

Funny ... those plate-wearing pallies seem to drop and drink more often than I do as a clothie lock. ;)
Ritual of Refreshment ftw regardless. :)

I used to hate to play the kids from the richer parts of town, playing Magic the Gathering. They would call it "Maw-naw".

Don't forget the Enriched Manna Biscuit. Where's our level 70 version of this thing?

At least they're using it consistently, to mean any food item that restores both health and mana.
Now, I want them to add a manna fish.

@11: probably because they were right? I suppose you're one of those people who incorrect pronounces it Man-a.
From dictionary.com:
ma·na /ˈmɑnɑ/
Pronunciation[mah-nah]
–noun Anthropology.
a generalized, supernatural force or power, which may be concentrated in objects or persons.

@6 Yeah that's my gnome looks like a 4-year-old who tries to dress herself. And now she gets to play house too! Oo-de-lally!. Would a cornucopia have been too much to ask for?

@15
Maw-naw =/= mah-nah.
I say man-ah, though, it sounds a lot better. Plus, don't characters ingame say man-ah when they don't have enough man-ah?

As someone already linked, Manna is Hebrew and literally means "What is it??" as the Hebrew people awoke in the desert to large amounts of the flaky bread covering the ground.
