Afaik mana is almost entirely a CRPGism (as we understand it), but I guess I could try checking if it originated in tabletop with a game that used to be popular but nobody talks about anymore
I was wrong.

Grim Dawn uses green.

Heretic and Hexen have both Green type and Blue type mana in a first person shooter.
Heretic doesn't use mana at all; The mana ammo system is from Hexen.
