Image by Slawomir Maniak Mana wyrms are simple, glowing critters that float around feeding off of stray pockets of arcane energy, clustering around places of power such as mana fountains. They can be familiars of spellcasters, but demand more upkeep magically-speaking (in terms of feeding them mana). Mana wyrms are usually translucently blue in color, but their color can change depending on the mana they drain.
