			- Code: Select all
 if (sa.getApi().toString().equals("DealDamage")) {
- and -
|| (!a.getApi().equals(ApiType.Mana) && !a.getApi().equals(ApiType.ManaReflected))) {
- Code: Select all
 if (sa.getApi() == ApiType.DealDamage) {
- and -
|| (a.getApi() != ApiType.Mana && a.getApi() != ApiType.ManaReflected)) {
