Mana Break allows the attacking unit to burn a portion of the attack target's mana, and deal additional physical damage based on how much mana was burned. The Mana Break ability can be gained via items, passive abilities, or Talent talents. All Mana Break sources have the MODIFIER_PROPERTY_PROCATTACK_FEEDBACK flag.

Mana Break sources first apply the mana burn, then the attack damage and the burned mana as damage in a single instance.

It is fully considered by lifesteal, but not critical strike and cleave sources.

Even with mana loss manipulation, Mana Break abilities deal full damage, despite burning less mana and mana draining effects still restore the same amount, despite their targets losing less mana.
