** In some games, hearts restores magic instead of adding ammo to the sub weapons. These games include both ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' games, and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin''.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Once per day, a Pearl of Power can restore one cast spell of a specific SpellLevel to a VancianMagic user.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': As in ''D&D'', a Pearl of Power can restore a cast spell of a specific SpellLevel to a VancianMagic user once per day.

* In ''Moonshine'' by Jasmine Gower, there's actually a contraband concotion called Mana. In this novel, mages are feared despite the vast majority of their power being CastFromStamina and extremely tiring. Mana is a blue liquid made from a volcanic crystal and it's a strong PowerSource, however its energizing property is highly addictive to anyone who's already at full energy reserves. So non-mages are easily addicted as they can't cast magic to reduce their own energy.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** The series has ubiquitous, typically blue potions that restore a set amount of [[{{Mana}} Magicka]] points. Using the series' [[AlchemyIsMagic Alchemy]] system, you can even [[ItemCrafting brew your own]]. They're a must-have for any magic-oriented {{Player Character}}s.
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' introduces Welkynd Stones, a LimitedUseMagicalDevice infused with StarPower that completely refills the character's Magicka meter when used. They're also present in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' as rare curios.
* In ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games that use magic, a green potion restores magic, and a blue potion restores life and magic. Enemies also drop bottle-shaped items that restore magic.
** In ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', enemies would drop a blue bottle that restores some magic, and a red bottle that restores all of it. Some red potions were in fixed locations, such as statues that needed to be slashed to drop them.
* ''VideoGame/TheWolfAndTheWaves'': Blue mushrooms will fully refill your Curse meter, letting you instantly shapeshift into a wolf.

* Present in multiple sizes in Warcraft 3, along with various other restorative items.

* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games restore magic with the item "Ether", and the more powerful "X-Ether," or "Turbo Ether" in latter installments. Some games have other variants as well.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** The series has ubiquitous, typically blue potions that restore a set amount of [[{{Mana}} Magicka]] points. Using the series' [[AlchemyIsMagic Alchemy]] system, you can even [[ItemCrafting brew your own]]. They're a must-have for any magic-oriented {{Player Character}}s.
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' introduces Welkynd Stones, a LimitedUseMagicalDevice infused with StarPower that completely refills the character's Magicka meter when used. They're also present in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' as rare curios.
* In ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games that use magic, a green potion restores magic, and a blue potion restores life and magic. Enemies also drop bottle-shaped items that restore magic.
** In ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', enemies would drop a blue bottle that restores some magic, and a red bottle that restores all of it. Some red potions were in fixed locations, such as statues that needed to be slashed to drop them.
* In ''VideoGame/GoblisAdventure'', the sample game that came with the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation}} version of UsefulNotes/RPGMaker, Blue Berries serve this role to Red Berries' HealingPotion.
* Blackberries are the most common example of this in the ''VideoGame/StarOcean'' series, but various other potions and [[HyperactiveMetabolism food and drink]] also serve this role.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' and [[VideoGame/{{Okamiden}} the sequel]], ink pots refill your ink, which function like a ManaMeter.
* In ''VideoGame/FortuneSummoners'', 'magic candy' refills your MP.
* In some ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', games, enemies can drop balls that restore MP. That is in addition to the Ether potions crossed over from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series. In games that don't have MP, but still have some form of ability meter, Ether is instead used to heal that.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPGLegendOfTheSevenStars'', and [[VideoGame/PaperMario the]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi subsequent]] ''Mario'' RPG games, Syrups restore flower/Bros. points, which are used to perform special attacks.
* In ''VideoGame/WildArms1'', a Magic Carrot restores MP (later games had you build up magic).
* In some ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' games, Fluids restore MP.

* ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' has Magicfood effect -- in VII, it's Golden Apples (1), Moser's Mojo Tea (2), Bottle of Old Jake's (4), Mana Stone (6), Milk of Magmanasia (6) and Stave of 12 Stars (level 6, x12 charges).

* Blue Potions and Blue Herbs, along with a few fruits, serve this purpose in ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline''. Like the {{Healing Potion}}s, they can be crafted by all. The Alchemist class is also able to chuck them at allies.
* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' has four different levels of Mana Potion, each restoring increasing amounts of Mana. While you can guzzle them all day (and automatically so with the Mana Flower), drinking one imposes the Mana Sickness debuff, temporarily reducing your magic damage output.

* ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve2'' has various types of items that recovers MP. Bottled mineral water restores a good chunk of your MP, [[ProductPlacement cans of Coco-Cola]] restores 20 HP and 80 MP, using a Lipstick fully restores MP and boosts its max value by 1, and Ringer's Solutions restores your MP and HP to full.
* The MP Candies are ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'''s take on this trope, being the basic Magic-replenishing items. There are also MP sprinkles, which the player themselves can shower Mii with for the same effect.

* ''VideoGame/RadiantHistoria'' has the Herbal/Special/Superior Tea, as well as the Celestial Tea/Oil/Dew (arranged by tier).
* Peter Jacob of ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' can find a Magickal Elixir which completely restores his ManaMeter, with five doses available to him. Very useful, since his chapter concludes with a WizardDuel.
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** Most games have "Chakra Drops" and "Chakra Pots" that restore a small amount of or all SP, respectively. In many games, they are surprisingly common [[RandomlyDrops random drops]] from random encounters.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', the Hero lives at a café and can borrow the owner's coffee-making equipment. The resulting cup of coffee is the easiest-to-get SP-restoring item for most of the game, but making coffee takes up precious time in your schedule (it does advance Sojiro's [[RelationshipValues Social Link]], though).

* ''VideoGame/TheWolfAndTheWaves'': Blue mushrooms will fully refill your Curse meter, letting you instantly shapeshift into a wolf.
* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'': Since the New Kid's magic is performed through [[{{Fartillery}} farts]], Mana Potion takes the form of different foods (such as apple juice, cauliflower, burrito, and ham) that he can eat to refill his Mana bar. However, consuming too much potion will overflow the bar and just make the New Kid crap himself.

* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games restore magic with the item "Ether", and the more powerful "X-Ether," or "Turbo Ether" in latter installments. Some games have other variants as well.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Crystalis}}'', the Fruit of Power restores some MP, the Magic Ring restores all of it, and Deo's Pendant gradually restores MP if equipped and the player stands still.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games, drinkable consumables, ranging from opened soda to BBQ sauce, restore SP. There's also actual Mana Potions, but they function more like RareCandy, since Mana in those games are used for character improvements.

* During [[SpiritWorld the Fade]] sections in the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' series, you often encounter [[AppliedPhlebotinum lyrium]] outcroppings that instantly restore your mana to full. The game also has lyrium potions of various qualities that you can loot or craft the do the same. (Thankfully, although the lore of the game states that lyrium in any form is [[FantasticDrug highly addictive]] to anyone except dwarves, this does not apply to you in gameplay!)

* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'':
** Mana Potions restored your character's mana.
** Magical weapons could have a special ability that restored your mana when they hit an opponent.
* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'': Equipping an item that reduces AP cost and using transfer on yourself actually heals your AP. There are fish and Wisdom Seeds and Wisdom Fruits that serve the same purpose.
* in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games, you can find various kinds of Ethers and Elixirs in item balls. Ethers restore part of a move's PP, while Max Ethers restore all of it. Elixirs and Max Elixirs restore some and all PP to all moves, respectively. Especially handy for the Elite Four, and you can't buy them in the shops. Most games since the third let you grow Leppa berries, which do the same thing, making Ethers rather obsolete.
* The ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' series has vials of magic water that restore different amounts of MP. They're usually very rare and aren't sold in stores, often making them TooAwesomeToUse. There's also the Prayer Ring, an equippable accessory that can be used as an item to recover MP. It can be used multiple times, but each use has a chance of randomly destroying it.
* Mana Leaves/Seeds/Roots/Extracts from the ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' trilogy
* In first two ''VideoGame/BioShock'' games, this purpose is served by the EVE Hypos - though they're injectable, not drinkable. [[HyperactiveMetabolism Consuming certain drinks or smoking]] will also restore small amounts of mana at the expense of health (although a certain Gene Tonic allows alcoholic drinks to restore EVE too). ''Videogame/BioShockInfinite'' has Salts, though the name makes it unclear whether it's an inhalable or edible affair.
* Piero's Spiritual Remedy in ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}''. Both this and its health potion counterpart are used by the population to protect against the plague that has stuck the game setting.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' has the [[PowerUpFood Purple Magic]] [[EroticEating lollipops]]. The normal version replenishes 4 magic orbs, while the Mega Purple Magic lollipops restore 8 magic orbs (enough to automatically use a [[ColdBloodedTorture Torture Attack]] or an [[SuperMode Umbran Climax]] in [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 the sequel]]).

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire3'': Equipping an item that reduces AP cost and using transfer on yourself actually heals your MP.

* In ''Videogame/SuperMarioRPG'', and [[VideoGame/PaperMario the]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi subsequent]] Mario RPG games, Syrups restore flower points.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games, drinks restore MP.

* In ''VideoGame/WildARMs1'', a Magic Carrot restores MP (later games had you build up magic).

* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}''

* ''VideoGame/{{Breath of Fire 3}}'': Equipping an item that reduces AP cost and using transfer on yourself actually heals your MP.

* ''{{VideoGame/Terraria}}'' has four different levels of Mana Potion, each restoring increasing amounts of Mana. While you can guzzle them all day (and automatically so with the Mana Flower), drinking one imposes the Mana Sickness debuff, temporarily reducing your magic damage output.

* ''{{VideoGame/Bayonetta}}'' has the [[PowerUpFood Purple Magic]] [[EroticEating lollipops]]. The normal version replenishes 4 magic orbs, while the Mega Purple Magic lollipops restore 8 magic orbs (enough to automatically use a [[ColdBloodedTorture Torture Attack]] or an [[SuperMode Umbran Climax]] in [[{{VideoGame/Bayonetta2}} the sequel]]).

* The [[VideoGame/KisekiSeries Trails series]] has the EP Charge items, which usually come in three tiers.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'', the Hero lives at a café and can borrow the owner's coffee-making equipment. The resulting cup of coffee is the easiest-to-get SP-restoring item for most of the game, but making coffee takes up precious time in your schedule (it does advance Sojiro's [[RelationshipValues Social Link]], though).

* ''Literature/CradleSeries'': Elixirs are a standard way of regenerating [[{{Mana}} madra]]. However, they typically work too slowly to be useful in combat. Therefore, they are either used to help you recover faster after a fight, or to help you improve your core. An elixir gives you more madra than you could typically hold, you cycle it through your body, and your core gets stretched a little. Doing it too much can be dangerous, and elixirs are expensive, but it's generally faster than cycling [[BackgroundMagicField aura]].
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' introduced something that functioned somewhat like this in the second book in the series. It came with a major drawback: It doesn't actually restore Harry's reserves of magical power so much as suppress the symptoms of magical exhaustion... for a while, and he ''really'' pays for it when it wears off, which happens at an extremely bad time.
* ''Literature/AMagesPower'': If a mage needs a boost in a hurry, they can down a bottle of Mana Juice! [[UrbanFantasy Available at your local convenience store]]
