So, how is this reflected in gameplay? All Blood Elves have a racial ability to suck magical energy from magic-using creatures. This "Mana Tap" ability will drain mana from a target creature, and that energy will be stored in your body. You can stack several mana taps together. A second racial ability helps you channel that energy: "Arcane Torrent" expels the energy from a tap into some sort of class-specific bonus. As a Warlock, when I used the Arcade Torrent, I silenced all nearby creatures for several seconds and regained a huge amount of mana. Warriors could use it to generate rage, and Rogues would generate energy.
