Arcane blades and the thief ones... shadow something, they can't regain it naturally, but there are manasurge runes around which gives you a fixed amount which, if you're in a safe place can spam until back to full, or alternatively once a fight (except if you flee for cooldowns then more often).

If you can find one or two items with +0.xx mana/turn, those can boost the effectiveness of manasurge as well (since you'll get 6-12x the rate for the 10 turns or so, about doubling the effect of the rune if you have about 0.60/turn). ;)

Shadowblades, at least, actually start with a manasurge rune. So do Archmages. I'm not sure about Arcane Blades as I don't play those.

So, the answer to the original post is most likely: use the Manasurge Rune.

Yeah, Arcane Blades start with them. And both Arcane Blades and Shadowblades can get a feed talent that gives them mana regeneration.

However it's possible the original poster has gotten some mana from an escort quest talent. In this case a manasurge rune isn't really worth using, and you're best relying on the mana restoration you get from levelling up.

Or an item that gives +x mana regeneration, which you can just equip and rest whenever you want it back.
