To be fair, the wiki doesn't answer questions. It just gives out information. Yes, you can search anything you want and it will show up, but we have a community here for a reason. It's helpful to see different answers explaining things in such a way that is understandable. On the wiki, you might need to go through multiple pages and scan through the paragraphs to see why <x> does <y> and for <z> reason.

alright well here is your awnser if the wiki doesn't work for you

spells are found/crafted and they come in many different forms, some staffs, and some books, etc.

mana doesn't do anything to spells other then how much you can use them
(for example if you use a staff that takes 1 mana to use and you have 20 mana you can use it 20 times before you need to recarge)

you'll come across magic items such as the Water bolt which is hidden with other books in the dungeon, or you could have crafted yourself a starter mage staff etc etc,
