The word mana has been around for thousands of years. In most languages each vowel has but 1 sound. English is one of the few exceptions where a vowel can sound completely different from itself when occurring twice in the same word.
Since mana is not english in origin the 2 A's should both sound the same.

hmm, so you're saying it should be pronounced Mah-nuh, as the letter A originated as an open back unrounded vowel as in the word "father".
