you could also try to send its info with your health in a way similar to the
bit flags. for instance, say health goes from 0 - 100. that will use the
first 8 bits. you can use the next 8 for your mana. you'd have to handle
this anytime you use health or mana on both client and server. tweak the
numbers to fit your particular design.
