In the example above, we can see that Enchanted Surge consumes 18 mana and 0.75 stamina.

How does stamina work, by the way?

Every character has a max Stamina of 1.0 and each ability consumes varying fractions of stamina — or what we call stamina shards.

Each .10 stamina equates to 1 stamina shard, so in the example above, Shadow Strike consumes 5 stamina shards (0.5 stamina), i.e., half of total stamina.

Each character has a speed attribute, which also plays a role in how fast stamina regenerates. By default (prior to speed and other variables), each character regenerates 1 stamina shard (0.1) stamina per 1 second (1000ms) — this means stamina will regenerate from 0 to 1.0 in 10 seconds (prior to other influences).
