... because a long time ago someone thought to themselves "magic would be blue" and then put it in some book/game/movie/cave painting and then everyone else was like "yeah that sound about right" and copied him without giving him any credit so.

The real question is why is stamina always green/yellow?
Luke Stewart
Mana is a supernatural power and easily became the energy for spells in video games and modern fantasy.
Its blue because its not really a color that is natural to a person. Red makes sense for health because your blood is red. A Bright Green makes sense for health, in the west, because green is generally seen as a good color and your health being green means you are in good health while red-shifting means you are closer to death.
I'm sure early on everyone picked up on blue quickly and it stuck without any issue.
