My new piece on mana is up at The Appendix:
The History of Mana: How an Austronesian Concept Became a Video Game Mechanic
I’ve also written a piece on Savage Minds explaining how and why the article was written.
I hope you enjoy them. When I get a chance I’ll throw up a PDF of the piece on my ‘publications’ page.
