From your question I assume that the player knows the term "MP", i.e. it’s not for internal use only.

Storm my brain:

Out of MP for this task

Needz more MP!!!1!

X: insufficient MP to use [name of ability]

More MP, less failure

Get more MP, X, and try again

Cost for manoeuvre exceeds MP ("maneuver" for AE)

All your MP are belong to us!

X lacks MP for [name of ability]

X lacks MP for its chosen move

Don’t move, we have MP

X, you are out of MP; tough luck, buddy

MP - chosen ability 0:1

X: MP missing for chosen tactic

X: MP below ability threshold

That’s it. Not very stormy tonight, sorry, need some rest.
