This does not seem to be working correctly

Replace in the condition of the first trigger the "Picked player" to "Owner of (Attacking unit)".

The "A unit is attacked" is known of causing bugs. How to solve such issue? Not sure, but have an alternative solution, by searching through the forums.

it is supposed to take mana away from enemy and add it to your attacking unit's mana

is any of the numbers wrong my unit does about 30 damage it is based off of obsidian destroyer so its mana goes down by 3 every second so it has to keep attacking to regain mana, its max mana is about 900

Any of the numbers wrong? Well, this is called "balance", you are the one to find out. The mana going down to 3 is a good amount in my opinion. I know what the trigger is supposed to do, Mana Steal is a term, which i am familiar with already. Just replace what i said

hmm then it won't work completely correctly it adds what damage the enemy does to my units mana and it stops taking mana away from the enemy after like 4 hits

It might require indexing for better results (=MUI). Plus, i am not really sure if attacked unit could go with an event of type "takes damage". It's like you have two events at the same time.
Anyway, change this:

• Set ManaGain = (Mana of (Damage source))
• to this
• Set ManaGain = (Mana of (Damager))

To be honest, i think one of the reasons i stated above causes this temporary effect of the whole trigger, pausing after 4 hits, or even both reasons.
Both cases seem to be reasonable. Indexing seems to be required, cause you store units within a trigger of a high-refreshing rate event, "A unit is attacked" -> every time the unit attacked is stored within a variable, no matter if it is the same target. Attacking unit vs. Damage source also seems to require a different triggering way, if i were you, i would use a buff on the unit that takes the damage, if the unit has that buff, then set everything with the mana stuff and remove the buff. So, the buff will be displayed for like 0.4 seconds or even less.
