That's another thing that I found out about the game that I really dislike. 
It will permantly take away your mana points, and you don't even know it until
you start asking other players about the different shrines.  By then, you are
already level 30 or higher and have lost over 100 mana poits.  In my case, I
had only 220 mana points at level 33, and my magic skill was around 170.  If
you calculate what I should have (which is 2 mana points per one magic point,
and remember that a mage starts out with a magic of 35 and 130 mana points) I
am missing about 180 mana points.  For a mage, that is a precious loss.  Those
extra mana points are extra HP.  

As far as I know, there is no way to restore permanantly lost mana points
without magically modifying your magic skill.  That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
