I have heard that the formula for mana should be INT/5 and rounded down and
to this you add 2 and multiply with your level and that gives: Mana = (INT/5
+ 2)*level. But when i tested it it seemed more like i had (INT/5 +
2)*(level+1). But the +1 to level also sounds reasonable enough since normal
skills are also in that form (like 5*(level +1)). But im by no means sure
that this is the right formula.
Note that the INT/5 is rounded down so having 134 in int should give the
same as 130. Of course you will later on acquire equipment that raises your
INT so no need to worry that you may have wasted 4 points in INT. It will be
usefull later on.
But in conclusion i think that you should have something in the range of
(INT/5 + 2)*level. Mayby people could post how many mana they think they
have at which level and we could figure out the correct formula out. At
level 14 it seemed like i had about 440-450 mana with 142 in INT but mayby i
got a bit of mana back while testing (casting 4 bind affinity and some minor
spells), but im not sure. I'll probably test again when i get enough
patience to use all my mana while not in combat :)

I hope that helped.
