For Path/Book, see p. 126 of Thaumatology. Those rules are optional, depending on the GM's view of the relationship between different kinds of magic.

Realm magic doesn't mention mana, except in its enchantment rules.

RPM has similar rules to Path/Book, on p. 43 of T:RPM.

Incantation Magic uses mana, which gives skill modifiers, as per p. 10 of DF19: Incantation Magic.
