Mana

Mana (or Life Energy) is the name given to the supernatural substance that is the essence of magic and life itself. Mana was introduced in What Are Little Girls Made Of?; it is explained that Anodites, a race of "energy beings", are entirely comprised of mana and can freely manipulate it to their every whim.

Constructs made out of mana seem to have similar properties to either glass, light, or what appears to be metal. In What Are Little Girls Made Of?, Verdona mentions how most of her corporeal descendants did not inherit "the spark", the catalyst that allows for the control and manipulation of mana.

Humans can be taught to manipulate mana at a lesser degree than Anodites.

According to Aggregor, the Geochelone Aerio race can't be harmed by mana. This species can also be taught to manipulate mana.

List of possible uses

 * Magic: In Ben 10: Alien Force, it is implied that the magic constantly utilized by both fifteen-year-old Charmcaster and ten-year-old Gwen in the original series it is actually derived from mana and that highly skilled and gifted humans like Charmcaster are capable of harnessing it (though obviously not at the same level as Anodites). A key difference is that this form of magic (or at least magical rituals) relies much more on the use of spoken incantations, spell books, charms and talismans, and even celestial events, (like the full moon or a solar eclipse for particular rituals,) to achieve the desired magical and mystical effects the caster desires. In "Where the Magic Happens" it is confirmed again that magic is derived from mana.
 * Energy Projection/Manipulation: Basically involves the numerous ways and uses of using pure pink-and-magenta-colored energy to create shields and force fields of varying shapes and sizes for protection and circular magenta shapes or globes that can be thrown to disable enemies. Beams of pink-magenta glowing energy that are generated from the user's hands can also be used to knock enemies back, ensnare them, or slice through objects with a slashing strike. In addition, platforms or stepping-stones of magenta energy can be created and used to levitate the user and others in the air and to get to higher ground.
 * Dowsing: Tracking of organic life through objects they have touched via their mana energy signature and find out what he or she is doing at the time.
 * Anodite_08.gifReality-Warping (on a lesser scale than Celestialsapiens): Only shown by Verdona by fixing a broken glass at Gwen's house. Later she also magically teleports unusually rough and very sticky tape around Ben's mouth, gagging him so that he could not speak. And she also repaired Gwen's house when it was destroyed during their little fight with a mere snap of her fingers. This also shifts Ben and Kevin back to their human forms.
