Count up the number of Mana symbols in the play as well as Canasta bonus, if any, then convert these into tokens as per your Class (Barbarians and Clerics convert every token, Mages converts only pairs, Bards converts only triplets, any excess are lost) a player cannot hold more than 7 Class tokens, so if you would gain more than this the extra is lost too

The number of cards in the Play plus Canasta bonus, if any, determines the amount of damage dealt, but be aware that some monsters can only be damaged at all if certain conditions are met

Note: Even if the Play does no damage, you can still attack to clear your play area and gain Mana and thus Class Tokens
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Total the diamond-shaped Mana symbols in the completed set/run plus any Canasta bonus entitled to.
