OK... I think I may be able to help this whole power/mana-bolt thing... I
ran into the same confusion when I first started to deal with magic...

Mana-X only affect living targets, Power-X can affect anything... i.e.,
you can destroy a door or blow a drone up with powerbolt. Power-X
actually hurts the physical, while Mana-X is 'only in the head', causing
hemorraging (sp?) in the brain, etc...

hope that helped...
