Manaflow — Five Second Rule

Manaflow is a native-styled five-second-rule timer for World of Warcraft: Forever. The bar fills for five seconds after casting stops, then signals the regeneration state with a glow and flowing light.

Description

## Features

- Five-second countdown displayed in `0.0` format.
- Optional copper-bronze “Mana Regenerating” text.
- Native WoW Forever artwork and animations.
- Native dropdowns for anchoring to the ranged timer, the main-hand melee swing timer, or an independent position.
- Native dropdowns for locked/unlocked positioning and visibility.
- Independent positioning, size, scale, opacity, spacing, and visibility controls.
- Blizzard Edit Mode support for positioning and configuration.
- Available for Priest, Mage, Warlock, Druid, Shaman, Paladin, and Hunter.
- Wand shots and normal melee or ranged attacks do not restart the timer.

## Configuration

Type `/manaflow` or `/mf` to open the settings panel. Manaflow is also available under Options → AddOns → Manaflow.

Manaflow anchors to the ranged swing timer by default. Use the **Anchor** dropdown to choose the ranged timer, melee swing timer, or an independent position. Choose **Unlocked** from the **Position** dropdown to drag the independent bar, then choose **Locked** when finished. The mover and settings are also available while Blizzard Edit Mode is open. Manaflow settings save separately from Blizzard layouts.

The default fill height is 16. The countdown is enabled by default and disappears when regeneration begins. The optional “Mana Regenerating” text is disabled by default.

## Commands

- `/mf` or `/mf settings` — open settings.
- `/mf unlock` and `/mf lock` — position the bar independently.
- `/mf ranged` — anchor to the ranged swing timer.
- `/mf melee` — anchor to the main-hand melee swing timer.
- `/mf preview` — toggle the preview animation.
- `/mf text` — toggle “Mana Regenerating” text.
- `/mf timer` — toggle the countdown.
- `/mf width 426` — set independent width from 213 to 852.
- `/mf height 16` — set fill height from 3 to 20.
- `/mf gap 5` — set spacing above the ranged timer.
- `/mf endcaps 4` — set extra follow width from 0 to 32 total units.
- `/mf reset` — restore defaults.

## Timer behavior

The fill remains empty during casts and fills for five seconds after casting stops. Free and canceled casts also restart the countdown, so Manaflow represents casting inactivity rather than directly reading mana expenditure or regeneration rate.

**Designed for World of Warcraft: Forever.**
