The usage of Mana is capped under combat casting points and strategic casting points. All your buildings and your Heroes, Leaders, and Troops will draw mana from the same pool. But because of the capping mechanism, you are limited to how much mana you can use. If your strategic spell exceeds the mana limit, it will take several turns for the spell to be engaged. But this doesn’t apply to combat spells, and you can use one spell per turn that is within the limit. You can increase the combat casting point by investing in certain tomes and society traits if you wish to use more of them.
