Attacks with mana drain trait

[jacksmack]

Hi

The Mana Leech's attacks has mana drain trait.

Do this Work when it attacks the enemy mage itself, or only when attacking the enemy mage's creatures?

The codex in the end of the rulebook says:
"If this attack damages an enemy create, that creature's controller loses X mana....."

So from this, its not really clear if the mage loses mana when attacked by a creature with manadrain.

Your mage is also a creature, and you are in control of it, as the mage. So this does steal mana.

Jedah is mostly correct. The other mage losses mana but you do not "steal" mana to "steal" mana the attack needs mana transfer.
