Mana

Mana is spent to activate skills, and is shown on the bottom right of the screen as a blue orb. It recovers slowly over time, but can be refilled quickly with flasks.

Every class starts with 40 Mana, and gains +4 per level to reach 436 base mana at level 100. Every two points of Intelligence grants +1 mana. All classes have a base mana regeneration rate of 1.75% of their maximum mana per second, or equivalently 105% per minute.

Additional mana and mana regeneration can be gained from high Intelligence, passive skills, modifiers on equipment, the aura , various unique items, and the Act 2 quest Deal with the Bandits in Normal. Clarity is important for high mana regen because it gives a flat "mana gained per second" bonus that is increased by all Mana Regeneration Rate +% modifiers.

Passives

Many passive skill nodes grant additional mana or a combination of bonuses including mana, mana regeneration, reduced mana cost, reduced mana reserved on auras, mana leech, and mana gained on kill. Some passives will increase the amount of Mana regained from Flasks.

The Blood Magic Keystone removes Mana, causing you to pay for skills with your life. Eldritch Battery converts all of your energy shield into extra mana.

Mana

In the case of Eldritch Battery, maximum mana is increased by an amount equal to total Energy Shield. In exchange, Energy Shield is reduced to 0.

Recommendations

The following is recommended:

• At least 1 million damage per second
• Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%); additional Maximum Cold Resistance is also useful for Shaper balls.
• At least 5,000 combined Life and Energy Shield and a reliable source of recovery
• Moderate mitigation or avoidance, including Physical damage reduction, Armour, Block, Spell Suppression
• Movement skill to avoid Shaper's slams and beams

The fight consists of multiple phases. Before the Shaper encounter begins, the player must defeat four side bosses at the nexus. After that a portal opens to the Shaper's arena. The Shaper himself has three phases. At the end of the first and second phases he banishes Zana and the player to a passage while he heals up. The players must traverse the passage and return to the arena to begin the next phase. The Shaper recovers health slowly between phases.

Skills

Image	Skills	Details
	Default Attack	The Shaper lashes out at the player, dealing Physical damage He only uses it while in melee range. Effects: Deals 100% of damage 33% more Attack Speed
	Shaper Beam (Spell)	The Shaper charges up his spell and then unleashes an extremely powerful beam that deals heavy damage over time if the player is hit by it. The Shaper fires the beam aiming at the player, and once fired, the beam does NOT rotate to target the player The player must dash away or run away from the beam area to avoid taking damage The beam lasts for 3 seconds If players touch it, the beam does ALL of the following: Deals 5384 Fire damage per second Deals 4405 Cold damage per second Deals 6057 Lightning damage per second
	Projectiles/Balls (Spell)	The Shaper fires 3 golden orbs consecutively, dealing massive cold damage if they hit the player. The projectiles accelerate as they travel Each ball will deal: Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold damage Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance
	Teleport Slam (Attack)	The Shaper disappears into the void, then teleports to the player and slams the ground, dealing massive damage. To avoid this attack: Players must notice that the Shaper is about to Slam and be ready to dodge when he reappears Fast movement speed and travel skills help with avoiding the attack If players are anywhere within the purple circle, they will be dealt heavy damage: Deals 300% of damage 50% less Attack Speed
	Volatile Anomalies/Vortex (Spell)	Slow-moving grey balls that seek the player appear from the edges of the arena Once the ball touches the player, it will create a vortex on the ground, that deals heavy cold damage over time if players stand within it Players must attract the balls to the edges of the arena to prevent them from restricting mobility and combat space Each vortex lasts for 25 seconds Each vortex will be removed once the phase ends
	Monster Portal	The Shaper teleports to the side of the arena, opens a monster portal and becomes invulnerable The portal will spawn various kinds of shaped monsters, one at a time for about 25 seconds The monsters will exit the portal and attack Zana and the player. Players must simply kill the monsters to prevent her from dying If Zana is successfully protected, the portal is closed If she loses all her health, she retreats and slowly recovers health, while recovering she will be unable to create her protective bubble shield (see below) This is the only time in the fight when Zana is vulnerable to damage
	Bullet Hell (Spell)	The Shaper disappears from the arena and becomes invulnerable during this attack The Shaper fills the arena with purple "bullet" projectiles that deal heavy damage The intended way to escape this is to stay within Zana's protective red bubble When this attack is about to end, Shaper will usually fire a beam while there are some projectiles still on the arena Each bullet will deal: Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold damage Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance 11 additional Projectiles
	Zana's Bubble	Once per phase Zana will create a protective bubble shield Players are encouraged to stand in the bubble to avoid the Shaper's attacks (typically the Bullet Hell attack) Staying anywhere in the bubble's hemisphere will protect the player, even if the character is almost at the edge of it A Vortex can still spawn during this and restrict movement within the bubble

Damage the Shaper down to 0% health, after which he dies.

The Nexus

The map of the Nexus area, with 4 boss portals visible on the corners

The entry area is X shaped and contains four paths, each leading to a boss that must be killed before a portal in the middle opens. The bosses are four randomly-chosen map bosses. After they are killed, the Shaper fight can begin.

The 4 bosses will be a random selection from the following:

• The Cursed King (Dark Forest)
• God's Chosen and The Hallowed Husk (Palace)
• Eater of Souls (Core)
• Tyrant (Colonnade)
• Ambrius, Legion Slayer (Colosseum)
• The Infernal King (Caldera)
• Piety the Empyrean (Shrine)
• Shadow of the Vaal (Maze)
• Merveil, the Reflection and Merveil, the Returned (Legacy Mineral Pools)
• Penitentiary Incarcerator (Dungeon)
• Fire and Fury (Lava Chamber)
• Shock and Horror (Legacy Torture Chamber)
• Spinner of False Hope (Arachnid Nest)
• Olof, Son of the Headsman (Pit)
• The Goddess (Plaza)

Nightmare Manifest (Transformed Piety from Malformation) no longer spawns as a possible boss.

Phase Mechanics

The main Shaper arena with the Shaper and Shaper Beam (top right), Vortex portals on the ground (center), and Zana (bottom center)

An example of the passageway section that players must traverse between phases

You are prevented from opening portals to your hideout while in the Shaper's arena.

Phase	Attacks
Phase One	Default Attack Shaper Beam Projectiles Teleport Slam Monster Portal Vortex
Phase Two	All attacks from previous phases Bullet Hell Vortex Occurs more often than in phase 1.
Phase Three	All attacks from previous phases Vortex Occurs significantly more often than in the previous phases. Potentially makes most of the arena unsafe and leaves very little room for maneuvering. Clone An invulnerable, spectral clone that uses one of the Shaper attacks and then disappears.

Between Phases

Between each of the Shaper phases, Zana and the player must traverse an area filled with monsters and kill a boss at its end. These areas use randomly-chosen tilesets, and appear to be thin, floating islands in a sea of stars. At the end there is a boss that players must defeat, after which a portal opens up that returns players to the main arena.

The bosses at the end are based on Riftwalker from the Laboratory MapLaboratory MapMap Level: 69
Map Tier: 2
Guild Character: ÄMy last waking moments looked very
much like this place... I miss it. I miss her.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once., but have much higher health.

• The Uncreated is the boss between phase 1 and phase 2. It has the same skill set as Riftwalker.
• The Unshaped is the boss between phase 2 and phase 3. He is similar to The Uncreated but also fires a volley of Frostbolts in quick succession every once in a while.

The Shaper slowly regenerates his health during this time, so it's recommended to reach the end as quickly as possible. Once The Uncreated/Unshaped is killed, this regeneration stops, and the intermission phase is complete.

Lore

See also: Memory Fragment (Atlas of Worlds), Book of Memories, and Cavas, Forgotten Spirit#Plot

The Shaper is the creator of the Atlas of Worlds and was the main antagonist of the Atlas of Worlds expansion. The Shaper's real name is Valdo Caeserius, and is the father of Zana Caeserius. Zana assists the player during the battle with the Shaper and constantly implores him to stop fighting and join her, but he refuses.

The Synthesis league also expanded the backstory of the Shaper and his construction of the map device.

Historical

Path of Exile has gone through multiple expansions since the Shaper was introduced, and as such mechanics that used to pertain to him no longer exist, or were modified.

Background information about the Shaper was written in the Book of Memories, which was filled as the exile collected his Memory Fragments from Elder-influenced zones.

Voice actor

The Shaper is voiced by New Zealand actor, Daryl Habraken.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.24.0	The Cosmic Wounds, Memento Mori, Thirst for Knowledge, Insatiable Appetite, Throw the Gauntlet, and The Perfect Storm Atlas Keystone Passives have been removed. Instead, we have added a new set of fragments that can be used to access the Uber Pinnacle Bosses. Uber Pinnacle Bosses no longer drop additional rewards granted from their respective keystones (Uber Shaper no longer has an increased chance to drop an Orb of Dominance). [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] Rebalanced the drops and drop rates of Uber Pinnacle Bosses and introduced new exclusive Uber unique items. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.23.1	Improved the default volume of The Shaper's and Divinia's dialogue.
3.20.0	Pinnacle bosses, Map bosses, Incursion architects, Betrayal targets, Breachlords and others no longer have 33% or 66% less effect of curses on them respectively.
3.19.1	Lowered the damage dealt to minions by League monster skills and endgame Map Boss skills that felt punishing, for example, Shaper's Beam and Slam skills, Tul, Creeping Avalanche's Barrage skill, and many of Sirus, Awakener of Worlds' skills, amongst many others.
3.18.0	Added 7 new uber versions of Pinnacle Boss fights, accessible through Atlas Keystone Passives. These fights are extremely difficult, so only attempt them if you have a very powerful character.

3.13.1e	Sirus, Awakener of Worlds and The Shaper can no longer appear in The Sacred Grove, Temporal Incursions, Syndicate Laboratories and Conquerors arenas.
3.13.1	While witnessing The Shaper encounter, The Maven will no longer use her Heal skill during The Shaper's immunity phases.
3.9.0	Conquerors of the Atlas: A brand new endgame mapping experience. The Shaper and the Elder have both been defeated! ...Just not by you. Another group of Exiles has saved Wraeclast from these celestial harbingers of doom, but that wasn't enough. They continued to cut paths through the Atlas, leaving carnage in their wake, and forcing Zana to seal them in the Atlas forever. But they are trying to find a way out... Can you stop them before they bring ruin to Oriath? Featuring 5 new endgame boss encounters, powerful rewards (including new currency), and new ways to modify your Atlas. We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds. The Elder, Shaper, and combined Elder and Shaper encounters can still be accessed. If you're lucky, Zana may offer a Shaper or Elder guardian's map! The health value of the Shaper has been adjusted. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.6.0	Bosses which previously had 60% or 80% less effect of curses on them now have 33% or 66% less effect of curses on them respectively. This includes map bosses, Incursion architects, Betrayal targets, Breachlords, Shaper, Elder and others.
3.2.0	No longer immune to Taunt, though they may not retarget based on being taunted.
3.0.0	Many unique monsters which were previously immune to Ailments have had their immunities removed, with the exception of Freeze. Notably, this includes several Beyond Demons, the Atziri Trio, Atziri herself, The Shaper and his Guardians, among others. The Shaper now prevents players from opening portals while fighting him. Zana has 50% more life during the Shaper encounter. The grace period when re-entering the Shaper encounter mid-fight has been reduced to 3 seconds.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.

Mana Leech

"Mana Leech" redirects here. For the support gem, see Mana Leech (support gem).

These passives add mana leech to attacks as a percentage of physical damage dealt.

The recovery rate of mana gained from mana leech is applied at 12.5% of maximum mana per second. If you have 1000 maximum mana, and leech 500 mana with a single attack, it will take four seconds for that mana to be applied to your current mana. You always get the full amount of mana leeched, it is only the rate at which it regenerates that is "capped" - if you leech a large amount of mana during a battle, you may find that the regeneration continues long after the battle is over. Similar to flasks, the regeneration from leech will stop if you reach maximum mana.

Blood Magic

Keystone

Removes all mana
10% more maximum Life
Skills Cost Life instead of Mana
Skills Reserve Life instead of Mana [1]

Lay open your veins, and draw power from your own spilled life.

Blood Magic (often referred to as BM) is a keystone passive skill that converts all mana cost and reservation to use life instead. It also gives you more maximum life and removes your mana.

Mechanics

Skills that reserve mana will reserve life and skills that cost mana will cost life instead. Mods that affect mana cost and mana reservation such as X% increased/reduced Mana Cost of Skills, + X to Total Mana Cost of Skills and X% increased/reduced Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills have no effect on the life cost and life reservation of skills. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic.

If taken with Eldritch Battery, your energy shield will continue to protect mana but will not be spent.

While you have Blood Magic, you are neither at full mana nor low mana.

Taking this keystone along with Sanguimancy from Warlock of the Mists will provide the 50% increased Life Reservation Efficiency of Skills stat, but otherwise impart no additional benefit.

Location

Blood Magic is located in the bottom left corner of the tree.
