If you do this for only one unit, it could be simple.
Initialization: Set Old Point Variable=position of your unit


Event:Every 0.5 seconds or something
Actions:
If Distance between your unit and Old Point Variable more than 0 or something
Then
Unit - remove mana equal to Distance between your unit and Old Point Variable*something
Set Old Point variable=position of your unit
else
Unit - Add mana equal to something

Event:Unit attacks
Condition:Attacking unit equak to your unit
Actions Unit - Remove mana equal to something

Also if you teleport your unit you always need to automatically set Old Point Variable to position of your unit so it would not lose all of it's mana for teleporting across the map.

Basically you can do something like this if you want to.
