In Magic lore, a mana vault is a way to store mana and lock away powerful artifacts.
Description
Mana vaults have been depicted in various forms. The original from Dominaria was as big as a skull and coral pink.[1] It was grooved with regular furrows. Two sides had raised squares like belt buckles, and the other two like round buckles.
On Avishkar, it is similarly a large metal box, though with more golden and seemingly infused with aether. New Capenna has mana vaults inside buildings encased behind a large circular door. Another unknown variation is comprised of a large metal tower with floating crystals around, rising above an enclosed space.
History
Dominaria
The Stone Brain was contained inside a mana vault before being launched into orbit. About 4000 years later, it fell from orbit, crashing in the woods of northern Aerona, where it was tracked down by Towser's entourage.[1] Towser kept the mana vault tied atop his head until he was defeated by Lily, who kept it in her wagon.[2][3]
Avishkar
On Avishkar, a mana vault was brought to the Inventors' Fair by the Aetherological Society. It was surrounded by a fence to ensure the safety of observers. It ended up being confiscated by the government under the guise of safeguarding it from the Renegades' attacks. While doing so, their cart carrying it broke its axles due to its weight.[4]
